The garden tour includes:
- A Perfect Pocket Garden
This small garden was installed by volunteers at a Langlois Public Library program in 2021 and has been recently updated with additional native plants. Designed by Darcy Grahek, it is a perfect example of how to start small if you’re just dipping your toes into the native plant world. Darcy will be in attendance from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. - Lots of Plants in a Coastal Garden
This nearly one-acre lot sits just above wetland level and within sight of the ocean on a clear day. The garden began twenty-seven years ago on a lawn with two trees, a clump of calla lilies, and native forest on the periphery. Older ornamental plantings now share space with more recently added natives, including in a pollinator garden. - Native Treasures Revealed
After spending several years clearing up their property, the landowners began to create a nature garden near their house. To their great delight, a thorough weeding revealed many native plants and allowed them to thrive. Highlights include bittercress, Pacific sanicle, self-heal, seep monkey flower, and silk tassel. - At the Foot of a Slope
This 2+ acre property backs up to a wetland at the bottom of a forested slope. An ephemeral stream emerges through wild ginger and wood sorrel into a small, open meadow before flowing into the Elk River. Removal of blackberry and ivy has revealed Irises, false Solomon’s seal, and bleeding hearts among many others. - Go on a Scavenger Hunt
Native plants are sprinkled throughout this lovely residential garden. After moving in about eight years ago, the owner moved plants from another property in Port Orford to attract bees and butterflies.
