    Discovery Garden, Roseberg, Oregon, October 2, 2024
    Bruce O.

    Discovery Garden, Roseburg, OR - October 2, 2024 We were staying at the Twin Rivers RV Park and walked across the street to Discovery Garden where we took in the beautiful garden area. The gardens have a peaceful tranquil feel to them. You're essentially in the middle of wide open space with no traffic noise. The garden areas include roses, azaleas, dahlias, various plants, a Japanese garden, children's garden, and much more. Depending on the time of year you visit, different plants are in bloom. This time in early October, we got to see some roses and lots of dahlias. We also went to the Victory Garden, just across from the Discovery Garden, where they grow fruits and vegetables. Every Tuesday, they harvest whatever might be ready and take it to the local food closet. Residents in the area are also encouraged to bring their own crops to the Victory Garden to have them delivered to the food closet. We were allowed to take some samples from the Victory Garden. We got a Roma tomato and a small green pepper. Can't wait to sample them!

    Neat. Free. Unique. I would go back and I hope they are able to expand on what they have.

    I am so sad we don't live near this beautiful garden. It's clean and smells so delicious. It's a very relaxing place to meditate, hang out, walk your pupper, let your kitten play. We spend at least an hour here every time we are in the Roseburg area. We also learn about new plants to add to our garden and gardening techniques to increase our harvest. I wish I could have this beautiful space in my backyard.

    It's hard to believe, but this beautiful garden is largely unknown. What's amazing is that Discovery Garden is only a stones throw away from one of Douglas County's busiest parks: River Forks Park. The garden is quite relaxing and inspiring to visit. Its mission is simple: "to enhance and preserve the beauty and quality of the environment by using sustainable gardening practices, and to inspire and educate others." Visitors are treated to several cultural gardening styles, from a Japanese garden to herb and rock gardens. Chances are you will be impressed with one or more of the displays. Kids and families will enjoy the Children's Garden. Its human sundial, Clematis Archway, hopscotch, and hiding mulberry tree with a peek-a-boo fence will unquestionably be favorites. Discovery Garden was established in 1999, and it is maintained by volunteer master gardeners and donations from the community; research-based instruction in gardening techniques are provided by the Oregon State University Extension Master Gardeners.

    A bright Autumn day for busy bees

    What a pleasant discovery in West Roseburg. We finally went there in Autumn and can't wait to go again this coming Spring & Summer. We found the Fig tree which was loaded with figs larger than our own tree. Other flowers were still in bloom, roses, nasturtium and an assortment of sedums. It was all delightful and we enjoyed seeing a gingko tree in the collection. Now we're counting down the days to return with a pick nick in tow.

    Fun, no matter your age!

    I have a group of friends who do hiking trips together every few years, and this year we picked…read moreMorrisons Rogue River hike with support from guides on rafts. Booking the trip was relatively straightforward, but Morrisons highly encouraged us to do trip insurance because they don't offer refunds, which should've been the first red flag. Before I go too far, I do want to give a huge shout out to our guides Drew, Adam, and Johnny. They were amazing, and if I were rating just them, this review would be 5++ stars. They were friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely cared about us and our hike. The rest of the Morrison's staff...not so much. There was an active wildfire in the area before we started the hike. We talked to Morrison's several times in the days leading up to the trip (before we flew out) and even asked about rebooking the trip for a different time, when the forest in the area wasn't on fire. We were assured that even though they were planning a few modifications to our itinerary (i.e. at least one day of rafting instead of hiking), they were confident that it would be a wonderful trip. Fast forward to the end of day 2 of our trip...and they had to cancel the rest of the 4-day hike due to safety concerns and, ultimately, a mandatory evacuation. To be clear, I'm not upset that we were pulled out of the woods, as that was an obvious safety decision. I'm mad because we specifically asked about rebooking for different dates and were told no. Morrison's got us back to their main lodge the following morning, at which point they considered themselves done with us. There was no refund, no help finding rooms for the night, and the last lodge we were in literally wouldn't even let us use the bathroom in the hour we were waiting for vans to get us back to safety. Morrison's did at least send us all an official email about the trip cancellation so that we could share that with our travel insurance (if we'd purchased it) to try to get a refund, but that was about it. Morrisons also made the guides tell us, rather than having anyone higher up in the company talk to us. From what we can tell, they also didn't do anything to help their guides (e.g. helping them find lodging) once the trip was canceled. I will also add that I'm vegetarian, and although there was a lot of very tasty vegetarian food available, vegetarian protein was extremely scarce. For dinner the two nights we hiked (~9 mi on day 1 and 15 mi on day 2), there was no source of vegetarian protein for me to eat. (The gluten free and dairy free people fared much better.) It would've been so easy to roast a portobello mushroom the way they roasted salmon, or to do some kind of meat substitute when they did ribs (they did have meat substitute at the lunches, and eggs or veggie patties at breakfast). I had brought some protein powder with me, but not enough to make up for dinners without protein. My friends ended up giving me the protein bars they'd brought for themselves to try to make up for the dinners. To Morrison's: please consider all macronutrients (carbs, fat, AND protein) when planning meals for your guests! Overall, I would absolutely go back to the river with any of the guides, but I'll never use Morrisons again, and I recommend that you don't either.

    Great time with my family. The guide was excellent and we had a blast. We did the afternoon 1/2…read morerafting trip and are definitely coming back to make this annual event. Dan was an excellent guide!
