Gravel walkways meander \n through this woodland under-story garden thriving beneath a canopy of firs \n and sequoias. Sunny spaces are devoted to raising food. A 1\,500 gallon \n cistern resides under a deck capturing rainwater that is recycled in the dry \n season. Garden designer Susan Latourette’s garden features a raised summer \n house\, circular fire pit and plants chosen for their textural attributes. In \n his 15 years spent transforming an over-sized city lot Rick Meigs has created \n an intimate sanctuary that celebrates and contrasts the forms\, textures and \n shapes of the plants\, each selected for what they contribute to the overall \n scene. In a garden designed to showcase diverse habitats\, botanist Peter \n Goldblatt emphasizes small shrubs\, bulbs\, alpines and trailing plants among \n others. A beautiful hand built waterfall and pond transition from the sunny \n front garden to the back garden where plants that appreciate morning sun \n thrive. Across the street garden designer Anne Marsh and husband\, Gary Fear\, \n have constructed a garden around their house which dates from 1895. The \n double lot features a rock garden\, ornamental trees and shrubs\, a cottage \n garden and vegetable area. A stream and pond garden behind the house have a \n Japanese flair.\n The Rogerson Clematis Collection Display Garden at Luscher Farm in Lake \n Oswego occupies a two-acre parcel surrounding a circa 1900 farmhouse. Garden \n areas include the Heirloom garden showcasing pre-World War I clematis\, roses \n and cottage garden plants. The Beech Tree’s garden is home to Japanese \n clematis species and cultivars in a bird-friendly setting. The Front Bank \n features many North American native clematis while clematis from Eastern \n Europe inhabit the Balkan Garden. Easy to grow clematis thrive in the \n Beginner’s Garden and 40 favorites inhabit the Founder’s Garden.
