Gardening for Wildlife

Oregarden is the affectionate name we call our home garden here in Portland, Oregon. The pnw temperate climate supports a wide variety of gorgeous native plants, a fun selection of veggies and annuals, and vibrant roses and dahlias. Our garden is adjacent to acres of forest trees, whose resident birds and critters often visit our garden, but we’ve taken steps to encourage more visitors who are either migrating through or may call Oregarden home.

Our garden is an insect oasis and 100% natural. We practice Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and don’t use any chemicals, even those advertised as organic. Any chemical has the potential to harm beneficial insects and the thriving ecosystem we lovingly support in our garden.

“My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece.”

— Claude Monet
