On the Road Tour - Gardening in Nature

Our tour begins at Westwind Farm Studio with its amazing views overlooking the valley and mountains in the distance. The tour begins in the upper meadow - a field of 15 varieties of lavender. Down the hill is a breathtaking garden surrounding the residence designed by Pietro Belluschi. Twenty of their 80 acres contain an undisturbed beautiful forest and native understory that is protected by a conservation easement.

Next we travel to scenic Sauvie Island to visit the Blue Bee Blueberry Farm, a small family owned and operated u-pick farm. It is an all natural, no spray farm with Reka, Hardy Blue, Bluegold, Liberty and Legacy blueberries that span the season.

Our last stop is Cistus Design Nursery on the other side of the island. Cistus is a retail micro-nursery with a display garden specializing in unusual Mediterranean, southern hemisphere, hardy tropical plants and more that thrive in the Northern Willamette Valley.
