Portland Japanese Garden Tour: A Permaculturist Gathers Design Inspiration

[@KeefsCattys]

Really enjoyed seeing this beautiful garden . Thank you

[@penelopehammerton2907]

Thank for a lovely tour. I was fortunate enough to visit this garden about five years ago from England. I cannot praise Portland Japanese garden enough. Membership is a great idea as you gain entry ahead of the general public, where you can take full advantage of the wonderful atmosphere and peace of this extraordinary garden : )

Absolutely gorgeous!! Would love more of that! Thank you for sharing!!💙🌎✌

This leaves me no choice but to create the finest American garden in Japan. I’m going to need a lot of garden globes and gnomes

Loved the garden tour and your insights into the design elements that can be incorporated into your own garden. My big takeaway from today's video is using the vertical space to your advantage - turning what I have been perceiving as a negative into an interesting design feature. Thank you 😁

I feel like you can’t find a finer example of forced perspective than the koi pond. They stopped so much into a steeply sloping hillside and made it feel like it was a huge garden when it’s actually fairly small.

Oh, also, we visited 2 years ago. Beautiful place. Loved the black bamboo “forest”.

[@katiecannon8186]

Oops, no. We went to the *Chinese* garden. Also beautiful, but much smaller.

Thank you!! Please make a video when you visit again in a week? My eyes can’t get enough of it😁

Thank you for including information about access, I’m in the uk so won’t ever visit, but disability/access is so often forgotten about with reviews on gardens 💚

Beautiful garden. Thanks for sharing this

[@amyjones2490]

Truly this garden is a national treasure. I may try that path idea to stretch my pavers in my "formal" garden.

I visited the Rose and Japanese gardens with my son and found them both to be very enjoyable...I loved hearing your thoughts on your visit.

[@rhondawelker6742]

Thank you. The garden is beautiful. We live in eastern Washington. I would like to visit both the Rose garden and Japanese garden. 😃

I used to visit the Portland Japanese Garden many years ago and enjoyed it immensely. It looks like it has evolved some since then but it still looks beautiful.

Beautiful garden!

[@PegsGarden]

Oh wow, this Is amazing, what a wonderful place to sit and draw and get inspiration for your garden 💕

[@joyxayasane8739]

I’ll probably never get to go there . 😩 But a big thank you for this video. 💓💓

So many times japanese gardens are associated with a sister city in japan, for example Seattle’s garden is associated with sister city, Kobe, anyone know which city in japan is a sister city to Portland
