Here's an online map with over 150 places you might want to visit. It was built using a free tool called Google My Maps. You don't have to have a gmail account to use it, but it probably works better if you do.

You can create a copy of the map and edit it to make a personalized version. If you use Google Maps on your phone, you can also view the map on your phone which is really helpful when you're traveling or exploring. Google Maps is different than Google My Maps which is a little confusing, but once you get the hang of it, you'll use Google My Maps for lots of things. There are online help videos to get you started with Google My Maps.

The map was created by Lois Moss for Travel Portland, so the groupings shown on the map were going to be a way for them to highlight some of our horticultural treasures. The project is on-hold until things get back to normal.

There are additional places that could be added, this was just a start. We are so fortunate to have such a wealth of world-class experts and garden treasures in this part of the world!

The map is fantastic! What a wonderful resource. Thanks, Lois!
