THE OREGON GARDENS
Out of all the places we visited over the 24 years we were together, the Oregon Gardens, outside of Silverton was one of our favorites. It was Celia's top pick for Mother's Day where we would meet up with her two daughters that would drive down from Portland and Seattle. On a few occasions we stayed at the Oregon Garden Resort for the night, including after a brew feast four or five years ago. This picture was taken in 2009 at the Gardens.

ReplyDeleteNice pic! It's a beautiful and relaxing place. Kathy and I have good memories of Oregon Gardens too. Lots of interesting things to see there, even during the "off" season. They also have nice accommodations, food and even had live music the last time we were there.
