Garden Duet
This summer event provides a special opportunity for attendees to tour two private gardens filled to the brim with awesome outdoor & garden art made from at least 80% reused materials.
The Garden Duet finds its home in a different Portland neighborhood each summer, so it’s an excellent way to explore a new corner of the city—or we might just sprout up in your neighborhood this year!
