Moving to Eugene Oregon

My daughter Loreen and I spent the afternoon touring the eight private native plant gardens and one of the four public native plant gardens in Eugene Sunday. It was hosted by the Emerald Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Oregon (NPSO).

The homes all had impressive gardens made up of mostly, if not entirely, plants native to our area. All the plants were labeled, so I took this opportunity to photograph the plants and their labels.

Here are a few of the plants, with their labels, that I photographed. The last picture is our last stop, inside my daughter’s mother-in-law’s yurt.
