We went out to look at the Leech Botanical Gardens today. Sort of a dreary day, but not rainy or cold yet. They were practically empty, but also setting up for a wedding ($6500 venue).The place was an old estate which had been deeded over the Portland Parks and Recreation, who may have let the place slip a bit. You could see the bones of the place were still there, and it might have been better in Spring rather than fall, but overall there was not all that much to learn from having gone.
Our idea about walking trails is there, and it works well too. They had a good idea for fencing off the creek from the creek side path, and a few seating and gazebo ideas as well. We got a bunch of images about native plants, and a few ideas about bamboo, but nothing of the layout will be of much use.At least it was free and they had a good gift shop.
