Step into Oregon’s Hidden Gardens on May 3

Step into Oregon’s Hidden Gardens on May 3

Jackson County, OR – On Sunday, May 3, the Garden Conservancy's Open Days program invites garden enthusiasts for a one-day-only chance to explore three gardens around Medford. The participating gardens are:

A Hillside Garden. This woodland oasis displays white oak and various native plants. The garden focuses on building healthy soil to provide for healthy plants. A key aspect is the harmony created with no pesticide use and climate-friendly tactics.

Bonnie's English Cottage Garden. This Mediterranean sanctuary features perennials and flowering trees like golden chain, rhododendron, and peony surrounded by bird baths and a variety of garden art. Color, texture, and line are key aspects of this .22-acre garden.

Italio Gardens. This woodland refuge displays rare species including both native and non-native conifers, Japanese maple cultivars, and subtropical plants like Begonia. The star feature is the grand waterfall into a goldfish and koi pond.
