Great Photos!
We actually live very near there!
As is often the case when a tourist attraction is near your home I have never been!

Wow! I am impressed… I have heard about gardens in Portland and it will take us time to locate them. Portland is known for Rose gardens and we have seen many beautiful roses while driving through some neighborhoods.
