Top Gardens in Oregon

Make sure to wear comfortable shoes. You'll want to stroll around and explore every nook and cranny of the garden, and trust me, flip-flops won't cut it.

Bring a camera, but also take some time to just be present. I got so caught up in taking photos that I almost forgot to just enjoy the tranquility of the place.

Look for any special events or performances before you visit! They sometimes have tea ceremonies or cultural events that really enhance the experience.

One thing I wish I had known is that the path can get a little tricky if it's wet. So, watch your step and maybe bring some shoes that can handle mud.

I think it's worth paying attention to the seasons. I visited in June and the blooms were stunning, but I've heard spring is even better, so plan according to what you want to see.
