Full Bloom and Leaf in Terwilliger Parkway

Meta Sequoia Trees (aka Dawn Redwoods or the fossil tree) were once thought extinct until living trees were discovered in inner China in the early1940’s.

The seeds were collected and shared with arboretums all over the globe, including ours right here in Portland. You’ll recognize these dawn redwoods on either side of Mt Hood in the background of this photo. They’re deciduous, so don’t panic if they loose their needles in the fall. Thanks to Doug Weir for the photo!

The Walpole Garden - A PP&R and Friends of Terwilliger Collaboration

The Walpole Garden, a collaboration with our partners at Portland Parks and Recreation, is named after the noted American botanical illustrator Frederick Andrews Walpole who built a house at Eagle Point (300 ft to the north of the garden) in 1895. We are gradually planting many of the native plants he illustrated for the US Botanical Garden before his untimely death of typhoid in 1905.
