The grove of venerable
Oregon white oaks (Quercus garryana) growing on my property has inspired
the name for my small country garden. In the summer, their leafy canopy provides
dappled mid-afternoon
shade to protect the daylily blooms from the hot summer sun. In the fall, their brown
leaves flutter to the ground to create a crunchy brown carpet. Their bare
gnarled branches provide an interesting silhouette against the winter sky.
My garden is now an official American Hemerocallis Society (AHS)
Display Garden! Visitors are welcome. Even if you can't visit in person, you can
get a glimpse of the landscape by taking this web tour...
