Hello,
I would like to come for a visit.
Is your wisteria blooming now or finished? Do you have water lilies or lotuses in the pond?
Thanks!!
Mikiko Flynn
Please do come! It is a beautiful time of year. The wisteria is still blooming. The pond has water lilies and is also home to a delightful group of salamanders.
I once lived near this garden. I loved sitting under the Wisteria and am curious to know if it is
still growing there.
Thank you.
Dear Colleen,
Yes, the wisteria is still growing and providing a lovely space to site at the upper parking lot.
Yes, it is still there. The most beautiful little grotto I have every seen.
Gorgeous gardens! I must agree with previous commenters however, that the website is very difficult to read. Please change to black print on white!

I am super baffled that there is no address to this park! I don’t even see a city listed other than a PO Box in Portland.
Seems like really the most basic of information if this is something open to the public. I seem to have scrolled through it all…am I just missing it?
Hi Julie,
The address is listed (with a map link) under “Directions” near the top of the front (“Welcome”) page of this website.
