Yet another great sponsor for the 2014 FoPo Garden Tour

We heartily thank the Leach Botanical Garden for their generous sponsorship to our 7th annual Foster Powell Garden Tour and their donation to our raffle fundraiser.

A little about Leach Botanical Garden -
Our Garden is the crown jewel of public park spaces in Outer Southeast Portland. Wander more than a mile of trails and paths, discovering the Garden's special places.  Find the Stone Cabin and the blue dinosaur.  Like a library of plants, the various species in our collection display their qualities during different seasons.

The lush green landscape is also home to a variety of fauna.  Deer, rabbits, squirrels are not uncommon.  Occasional beaver and ermine may be seen.  Hummingbirds and hawks, dragonflies and butterflies make their home here.  Johnson Creek is home to fish and other aquatic creatures.

Dedicated volunteers make it possible for the Garden to be open to the public six days a week. They provide information at the Manor House and opportunities to browse our gift shop.   More than a park, Leach offers a unique experience of the botanical, artistic, historic and natural landscapes.   See you soon.

Backyard Habitat Certification Program

This unique program provides assistance and incentives to residents on lots less than one acre, within the cities of Portland and Lake Oswego, to restore native wildlife habitat in their backyards.

Audubon Society of Portland, Columbia Land Trust and Friends of Tryon Creek have teamed up to create a unique Backyard Habitat Certification Program. 

The Backyard Habitat Certification Program provides assistance and incentives to residents on lots less than one acre, within the cities of Portland and Lake Oswego, to restore native wildlife habitat in their backyards. There are four program elements: removal of aggressive weeds, naturescaping with native plants, stormwater management and wildlife stewardship.
