Art and horticulture meld and blend seamlessly as each nook of the garden draws you to look closer so as not to miss the completely unexpected, whimsical, and sometimes even delightfully naughty artistic statuary and hardscapes. A garden explorer might stumble upon a metal preying mantis the size of a golden retriever nestled in the shade garden below the giant Sequoia or a family of fused-glass beetles peeking out from among a row of carnivorous marsh pitcher plants. You might as well consider this a funky scavenger hunt because, if you blink, you might miss anything from a fluorescent dinosaur stomping around under the prehistoric looking gunnera manicata leaves, commonly known as Brazilian giant rhubarb, to a cheeky garden gnome flipping the bird next to the succulent garden. See this garden plus others at the Portland Garden Tour West Sunday September 10th. More info at portlandgardentour.com. Photos by Kayla Casebeer, Studio Casebeer
