Eastern Oregon - Inspiring Garden Ideas for all Gardeners

Eastern Oregon is characterized by its semi-arid climate and stunning landscapes, offering unique gardening opportunities to those who call this region home. 

Weather and Sunset Climate Zones

Eastern Oregon experiences a semi-arid continental climate characterized by hot summers and cold winters. The region falls within Sunset Climate Zones 1-3, which means gardeners need to select plants that can withstand temperature fluctuations and low humidity levels. In general, the weather in Eastern Oregon is quite dry, with precipitation concentrated in the winter months, mostly as snow. Despite the aridity, gardeners can still create thriving gardens by selecting appropriate plants and implementing water-wise practices.

Garden Styles

Eastern Oregon gardeners can experiment with a variety of styles to create beautiful landscapes that reflect the region’s unique features. Some popular garden styles include:

  • Xeriscaping: This water-efficient gardening technique emphasizes native plants and drought-tolerant species to minimize water usage and maintenance.
  • Rock Gardens: Utilizing the region’s natural rock formations, gardeners can create stunning rock gardens filled with hardy, drought-tolerant plants.
  • Wildlife Gardens: Planting native species to attract birds, butterflies, and other pollinators can create a thriving ecosystem in your backyard.
