There were some beautiful photos of the Portland Japanese Garden in the HPSO e-newsletter this week. Does anyone have any other suggestions for places to see great Fall color?
Barb serves as HPSO President, and she has a small urban garden in NE Portland.

Barb,

I have also been on the hunt for fall color and I have gone to the Portland Japanese Garden three times now to photograph the color. I also have gone to Multnomah Falls but was disappointed in the color - it could have been due to the fires in that area.

I would suggest the Portland Arboretum and take the Maple trail, also possibly the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden.
I garden on two acres at 1100 feet, fighting off deer, rabbits and slugs to maintain a collector's garden of a little of everything.
