Horticulture on the Go
Pacific Northwest Style
September 9-15, 2012
Horticulturist and Making It Grow! host Rowland Alston will travel to the Pacific coast with ETV Endowment members to Portland, Oregon. Their trip begins at Columbia River Gorge and the farms of the Hood River Fruit Loop, known for the many fruit and lavender varieties grown there. Traveling along the Oregon coast, they will visit the seaport town of Newport, where sea lions frequent the dock areas. There travelers will tour the Heceta Lighthouse and its gardens.
Farther south along the coastal highway awaits the 18-acre Darlingtonia Botanical Gardens, home of the Cobra Lily. Next, Rowland and Endowment members “hold onto their hats” for a dune buggy ride along the dunes that front the Pacific Ocean. Travelers will also visit Mt. St. Helens, which devastated nearly 150 square miles of forest when it erupted in 1980. From Johnson Ridge, they will have a “birdseye” view of the volcano and see the rebirth of vegetation that has brought the once ash-covered landscape back to life. The tour concludes with a visit to a private Japanese garden.
