    I went to the summer event this farm throws and it was a really fun time. There was a lot of people…read morebut it was bearable. I appreciate the free parking, affordable food vendors, and affordable flower prices! I went home with some GORGEOUS dahlias. They had a small live cover band playing popular songs. Lots of small vendors. They had a gift shop but it was so full of people that my party opted to not look around. We got grilled cheese from one of the food trucks and it was super good. Cooked really well. My friends got the cider donuts and they were also good. Super mild in flavor. The flowers themselves were beautiful. So many colors and types. The names of the flowers were great. Got a lot of great photos. Please keep staying affordable and don't turn into woodburn tulip farm!

    Swan Island Dahlias is such a beautiful farm and it was fun visiting their Dahlia Festival. Parking…read moreand admission is free. You can take a train ride around the property, walk through the flowers and grab some food. They have food carts with hot dogs, ice cream, coffee, donuts and more. They have flowers for purchase and a cute mercantile with gifts. They also have a bar area with beer and wine. Plus, they do live music on the weekends. I bought a bunch of purple dahlias, then stopped at the Sugar Lips Donuts cart for a vanilla iced coffee and apple cider donuts. Both were delicious. Everyone we encountered were super friendly. It was a nice summer day adventure!

    Individuality, quality and beauty is not the sole province of large cities. The Rare Plant Research…read morenursery is an exotic plant nursery, vineyard and winery on a stunning estate. It finely matches individuality, quality and beauty perfectly. There is nothing in the city of Portland, or anywhere, matching it. The world-traveling collectors from the Renaissance forward gathered plants into the great botanical gardens of Europe. English traveler collectors brought plants from all over the world into the conservatories, greenhouses, on their estates. They learned how to keep them alive in new climates. Eventually they propagated them, enriching Western landscape design. Rare Plant Research is an update of that in the countryside outside Oregon City. They are only open to the public one weekend a year. They do announce under a handful of RSVP-only events, Summer months, on their mailing list. Except at the once a year open weekend, plant sales are made online and shipped. The greenhouses are near the road. They are filled with exotic grasses, succulents, bromeliadish plants and vines. A few corners of the greenhouses have definitely gotten out of control and turned into jungles. Another greenhouse floor is dry sand, desert-like. Want a hardy olive tree on your land? They have Willamette Valley-proven ones. Ginger varieties. Are you beyond bonsai? They have some pretty interesting plants that look like miniature baobab trees, like under 1-2 feet, or barked bulbs with flowers. The real test is growing these outside the greenhouse. The estate is the demonstration it can be done, and it could not be more dramatic. At the top of the hill, above the vineyards, is a Northwest interpretation of an 11th Century Italian estate: the main house, a formal pond, outdoor verandas, a lakeside amphitheater, arbors and a small vineyard shed. Apropos, a greenhouse garden spans the space between the two main wings of the house. Around the home, the exotic plants from the nursery thrive, outdoors, in our Northwest landscape! It's pretty amazing in this setting, that for the open to the public event, the owner is with the plants and the customers, ready to share his experiences. I also note that the masonry work is first rate, including broken concrete retaining walls that look like something ancient from Italy. The space may be available for events, contact them for details. Rare Plant Research is a grand experiment in exploring what we can grow, from far away places, with different climates, here, in little Portland and its surrounds. We hope Rare Plant Research continues for a few generations of more plants and more grand gardens!

    Nice place to spend a day when it opens to the public each year. Explore, wonder, enjoy!read more
