One of my favorite things to do, any time any place is to walk through a garden. We have been so lucky to see some of the most beautiful gardens in the United States. But one of the best is in Victoria, BC. It is the most spectacular Bouchard Gardens. I know there are many others, but unfortunately we probably won’t get to see those.
We have been to the Oregon Gardens before and enjoyed it so much we were looking forward to visiting it again while we are up here. We stayed at the resort on the grounds again, it was a nice alternative from an Airbnb, albeit a little more expensive.
The lobby is like walking into someone’s comfortable home. It hadn’t changed at all. There’s a restaurant there also, which we ate at both nights. Very nice, delightful, and delicious.
They also serve a complimentary breakfast that was so good, everything you could want and then some. Especially the potatoes, I’m a sucker for potatoes.😋
After that great breakfast, we walked into the gardens. It was a nice morning, a little overcast, not hot yet so very pleasant to walk among the beautiful landscaping.

I liked this in the children’s garden. I keep saying I want to recreate it someday with all my pots.
We enjoyed every minute in the gardens. A lot of walking but there were plenty of places to sit, rest, maybe even meditate at this lovely spot. It’s looking towards Portland in the Willamette valley, an hour away.
that’s the resort in the background. I love this picture because you can see the art piece of horses in the foreground.
We left the next day to see Jessica and Carter in Portland and I will post some pictures from that
stay tuned if you’re interested
