Portland Japanese Garden, founded more than 60 years ago through the efforts of local civic leaders and their friends in Japan, is deeply proud of its home city. As we have noted, Portland has a community of caring and nurturing people. We see this quality revealed through the many breathtaking gardens, spaces that can only exist through successive generations through care and consideration of those who follow. That’s just one part of the picture, however. In a recent article in The Oregonian, journalist Jamie Hale gives all the reasons why folks should make plans to visit Portland right now, including our area’s fall colors, which can be particularly enjoyed here at the Garden. Read Hale’s full article and see the excellent company we keep on The Oregonian’s website.
