You don't want to miss out on this natural habitat secret garden gem that has been a work in progress since 1982! Located on the busy corner of SE 55th & Hawthorne Blvd., you'd never know there are two ponds with a circulating creek between them that drowns out any traffic noise. Because of the amount of foot traffic from neighbors and folks walking to Mt. Tabor, there is a labeled peek-hole seen from the sidewalk that gives the OK for folks to peek over the 3' retaining wall to take a peek inside! There are over 450 plants (catalogued in the Gardenize app), a printout of which will be available! You'll find crepe myrtle, stewartia, tetrapanax, angelica tree, Amersfoort English yew, rhodies, camellias, hydrangeas, mountain laurel, roses, peonies, dahlias, echinacea, lewisia, heuchera, sedum, Japanese maples (in containers), ferns, and many favorite and unusual sun and shade plants.
