This weekend, I had the chance to visit a beautiful B&B in the winding hills of northwest Portland, OR. It is called the Enchanted Garden Suites. Although I didn't spend the night, Margaret and Dave were kind enough to give us a tour of their amazing grounds.
The gardens stretch across 1.5 acres, but the variety of little nooks, and pathways makes it feel much bigger. Above is the charming birch path, that is studded with flowers along the way.
Margaret is a knowledgable plant expert, and has a tremendous garden. Guests are allowed to pick berries and lettuces to enjoy during lunch. The kale looked especially delicious.
This tea house is a work in progress. Eventually it will have a pond in front of it, and will be sheltered on the sides by a bamboo forest. Guests will be allowed to sleep under the stars in the antique daybed, if they wish, or simply enjoy afternoon tea in the shade. I can't wait to come back and try this out!
We called these Pineapple flowers because we had never seen anything like them before. Brent pointed out the fractal nature of the blossoms. Very lovely!
