The Garden, At Shore Acres State Park, 90038 Cape Argo Highway, Coos Bay, Oregon
|
The garden stretched from the entrance to the tree line. The garden was laid out symmetrically with a fountain in the center.
At the far end was a pond
|
Displays of flowers and shrubs were enclosed inside low hedges. Between the hedged-in displays was freshly mowed grass.
|
Red roses were displayed just behind a low hedge. Those roses were backed by three different colored ground covers. Tall spiked plants
added an exciting backdrop to the roses and ground cover.
|
Some displays seemed occupied by wild flowers. But the effect was created by a careful selection of multicolored flowers.
|
Looking back at the gift shop at the far end with the fountain at the halfway point.
|
Dramatic trees also grew inside the garden. One example had a dramatically curved trunk.
|
The greenhouse
|
A large gazebo lay at the left side of the garden. That gazebo provided places to sit and rest, as well as a shaded place to escape overly hot days.
|
The path through the garden was created from many small square tiles.
