STARTING POINT

Your self-guided tour kicks off at The Grange #840, 14443 NW Charlton Road, Portland, OR 97231 (Sauvie Island). You'll pick up your guide booklet with garden descriptions and map there. We look forward to seeing you soon.

TOURS & TREATS

​Join us for a close up view of some private designer-crafted mature gardens, plus some new and old favorites. We always have surprises, from artist exhibits, to author signings, pop-up refreshments, and of course, a chance to meet Sauvie Island's neighborhood gardeners and hear first-hand how they created their backyard oasis.

Enjoy this unusual opportunity to tour around the island to see a total of eight gardens showing off both professionally designed private gardens as well as those resulting from the artistry of garden lovers. You'll also get the opportunity to see the award-winning Sauvie Island School Learning Garden!

Show your Garden Tour ticket at select local nurseries and farm stores for complimentary seeds, plants, and other items.

CAR & BIKE-FRIENDLY

You can enjoy our gardens by car or by bike! There's always a cozy spot to sit and rest awhile too. You're welcome to relax and soak in all of the beauty and gardening inspiration on this tour.

SPECIAL THANKS

We also want to thank our hosts who are working tirelessly to prepare their gardens. And to all the volunteers from The Grange #840 and the Sauvie Island Community Association, who have helped make this an enjoyable experience for you. You're in for a treat!
