Duckridge
Farm: A Summer's Evening Garden Tour
This 85-acre property and its gardens have been under development since 1979 by both the original owner and her architect grandson, the current owner. The house, completed in 1979, is styled after French country farmhouses. One of the primary objectives of designing the estate was to create long axial views from the house deep into the landscape through a variety of garden spaces.
Jeff & Betsy Miller and The Berry Botanic Garden's Board of Directors are pleased to host this tour of the Duckridge Farm and a celebrate the Summer Solstice with hors d'oeuvres de la haute cuisine and a comprehensive choice of beverages.

Jane Kerr Platt Garden Tour
We enjoy the special connection that BBG has with the Platt family and the part we are able to play in making the Platt Garden accessible to visitors. Again this spring, the Platt family graciously opens the internationally acclaimed garden that John Platt and his wife, the late Jane Kerr Platt, built in the hills of Portland. With its views and vistas, private niches and spectacular plant compositions, it's a garden designer's dream as well. Sunday, 6/1/08 2pm-4pm $25 Limit 30 REGISTRATION
