By attending these events I have been inspired by people, made new friends, met old friends and attended a heap of fun lectures, not to mention seen amazing gardens both private and public.  I also found myself talked into serving on just one committee.

Hopefully some of the topics will appear on the blog in the next few weeks. So here are just two pictures that show the range of gardens – from a floriferous Rose Garden (Left) to a simple and elegant Japanese Garden (right). Both the gardens are in Portland, Oregon)
