The Oregon Garden in Silverton, Oregon

Yesterday we took advantage of the beautiful weather to visit The Oregon Garden in Silverton, Oregon.

While the whole place is beautiful, I was particularly struck by the conifer garden.

Along little paths within the conifer garden were some quiet spaces to relax.

They are currently hosting an Art in the Garden event. When you find a piece of art you’d like, you’re encouraged to bring it back to the visitor center with you. I picked up a pretty glass piece, but these metal pieces were lovely too.
