What a revelation to read about the forward-looking gardens of Portland. Thanks for the update and the great photos.

Fantastic! I live in a pretty green city, Austin TX, but we’ve got a lot to learn from Portland! I’m particularly intrigued by the rainwater runoff. We have extended periods of drought interrupted by what we call “gullywashes” , so I’m wondering if a rainwater runoff system would have to be altered to accommodate for that large amount of water.

Your blog Growing Green Streets to Go With the Flow looks good. Nice shots. I admire those lenses you are having. They are so vivid and charming.

When we first visited Portland some 35 years ago, I was fascinated by the front yards that were all garden, no lawn. Our neighborhoods had neat little pocket-handkerchief lawns with shrubs down the sides to divide them and a row of foundation shrubs. Our gardens were in the backyard, flowers and veggies.
