Front Garden Makeover Update: 4 Years of Progress and Next Steps

🌿 Sink into Summer with a Stroll Through Joanne's Paradise Garden πŸŒΏ

With the upcoming heat in the Portland area, there’s no better time to escape to a lush, tranquil oasisβ€”at least virtually. Join me as I explore Joanne’s stunning garden paradise in Northeast Portland. Her Zone 8b garden is brimming with imaginative plant combinations, beautiful art, and thoughtful design solutions for everything from deep shade and full sun to tricky slopes.

Video Tour: Joanne's Portand Paradise Garden

Joanne is a talented home gardener who has truly created a sanctuary. Throughout the video, you’ll discover highlights like a show-stopping Stewartia monadelpha, impressive Podophyllum, creative mosaics by Jeffrey Bale, and unique art by Marcia Donahue. You’ll see plenty of ideas for managing slopes and maximizing different light conditions, all woven together with Joanne’s personal touch.

If you’re searching for inspirationβ€”whether it’s plant pairings or clever ways to approach challenging spotsβ€”there’s a lot to take away. Give it a watch if you’re looking for a garden pick-me-up (no sunscreen required!).
