I'm so very behind with NGG, but I'm gonna attempt to catch you all up anyway!
I've blogged about this plant sale before as I've considered it the very best of our region because of the wonderful selection of rare and unusual oddities, but it's also made special due to the wonderful people and friends that I've met over the years that make the long three-hour drive (I hate driving long distances) so definitely worth it.
So let me take you back to April when I made my annual spring drive down
to Portland, OR to hang out with planty friends and attend the Hardy
Plant Society of Oregon's plant sale dubbed, "HORTLANDIA"!
The really big difference this season is I'm not able to splurge and
purchase plants like I used to. It Without my own personal garden
anymore, I've really had to show restraint and avoid buying plants that
won't have an immediate home. So mostly, I aimed to shop for clients.
The crowd this plant sale generates is incredible!

 |
| The "FLOOD" Hmmm...you can see floor...must either be lunch time or it's the second day of the sale, which is traditionally slower. |
 |
| The guys from Sebright Gardens have the best shelving/delivery system for their plants! |
 |
| And here's their gorgeous display of Hostas, ferns, Epimediums and other shade loving plants from Salem, OR. Kirk and Thomas are two of the nicest guys with some pretty extraordinary plants. |
 |
| I'm always excited to help out at the Cistus booth with all their incredible selections of plants for everyone! |
Prior to the sale, however, I was able to meet up with some plant friends and fellow garden bloggers. Scott Weber of Rhone Street Gardens and Loree Bohl of Danger Gardens joined by other local Portlanders and a few friends from Washington also made it down!
We hit up Xera Plants retail space in Portland where we held the EMERGENT get-together last summer. Then a nursery none of us have ventured to: Secret Garden Growers in Canby, OR. A lovely specialty nursery with a great selection of choice perennial plants.

 |
| A sweet little Columbine I couldn't resist at SGG: Aquilegia viridiflora 'Chocolate Soldier'. What's so special about this tiny flower with a muddy color? IT'S FRAGRANT! |
 |
| Discussing our finds and what we should have for lunch! lol |
 |
| Loree found her plant of the day and she made sure no goat was gonna get a nibble!!! |
This gang of Portland gardeners are a wonderful bunch and I feel honored to have gotten to know them. We all crossed paths at the plant sale to add to our acquisitions for the weekend where I came away with just a few things. I'm glad I found a few larger plants for a client!

| And a trip to PDX isn't complete without a visit to Cistus Design in Sauvie Island. |

❤️❤️Franca Adelson is mijn naam uit Nederland Ik ben erg blij om iedereen te vertellen dit te horen Ik ben vier jaar getrouwd en op het vijfde jaar van mijn huwelijk moest een andere vrouw mijn man van mij afnemen en mijn man verliet mij en de kinderen en we hebben 2 jaar geleden totdat ik een bericht ontmoette waarin deze man doctor4mavoo@gmail.com iemand hielp en ik besloot hem te proberen om me te helpen mijn man terug naar huis te brengen en geloof me ik stuur gewoon mijn foto voor hem en die van mijn man en na 48 uur, zoals hij me vertelde, zag ik een auto het huis binnenrijden en zie, het was mijn man en hij kwam naar mij en de kinderen en daarom ben ik blij dat ieder van jullie dezelfde ontmoeting heeft met deze man en dat je jouw minnaar of echtgenoot terug naar jezelf.

ReplyDeleteI never knew there was a great possibility for me to have my man back to me until I met DR ISIKOLO. It was really tough on me when my boyfriend left me for another lady. I was devastated and couldn't get myself back. His friends and family did all they could to reunite us but it proved abortive. I was alone for some months and could not see myself loving another. So i had to seek help from DR ISIKOLO who gave me the privilege to ensure my heart desires was granted. He reunited us and the love and happiness was restored. His words is his bound and he never fails when he promises anyone 48 hours of getting the result which amazed me when my own result manifested. Don't bother seeking help elsewhere. Contact him now. His email: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com or text him via WhatsApp: +234-8133261196.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Dorothy Karl. Marital woes got me into a big mess which unfortunately led to divorcing my husband. I went through a whole lot for almost a year. I tried moving on and I couldn't because I was left heart broken and shattered and had two kids to cater for all alone. In all this, I never stopped loving my ex husband and I kept trying to fix our union again till I found out about DR ISIKOLO who was widely known on the internet for helping people. I had to contact him and got to know he can help me as well which he did when I complied with him. He restored the bond between me and my husband and the divorce was annulled and we are happier together even more than I ever imagined. He is trusted and reliable and in just 2 days, the result of his work will manifest without doubts. email him via: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com You can also WhatsApp him on +2348133261196.
