Please let us know about your plans to visit.

As a public garden operating in a private, residential neighborhood, we are required by a Multnomah County variance to host visitors by reservation only.

Letting us know of your plans in advance insures you a quiet stroll through the garden and helps us to coordinate parking (our lot holds fewer than 15 cars).
