November garden tour in Southwest Portland, at Jean's

I love the chance to visit other people's gardens. Last night, we went to a party at an avid gardener's house, and I got a chance to wander through her garden and take some photos. She pointed out that this is the middle of November and it doesn't look its best, but I was impressed nonetheless.

Here is the view along one side of the house, a lovely path:

I had seen this plant several places, and had wondered what it was. She said it is climbing hydrangea. It grows well in shade, and she had it on a trellis.

I liked the red ladder in the corner. You see ladders occasionally in gardens, but red is a nice touch. Although I guess you have to be careful of lead?

She said she turns over the cup in the spring, for the birds.

The back patio area:

Scott Myers Reminds me of my Aunt Marie's garden.
She was 105 when she passed away and had a great back yard, full of plants and other things. Excellent
