Western Oregon - Inspiring Garden Ideas for all Gardeners

Western Oregon is a haven for gardeners, thanks to its mild climate, diverse ecosystems, and rich soil. The region’s weather is characterized by wet, cool winters and warm, dry summers, making it ideal for a wide range of plants. Gardeners in this area can use the Sunset Climate Zone system to better understand their specific microclimate and select suitable plants for their gardens.

Garden Styles

Western Oregon’s unique landscape allows for various garden styles, including:

  • Cottage Gardens: Featuring a mix of flowers, vegetables, and herbs, these gardens are charming and informal.
  • Native plant gardens: Emphasizing plants indigenous to the region, this style fosters biodiversity and requires less maintenance.
  • Japanese gardens: With a focus on simplicity and balance, these gardens often incorporate water features, rocks, and pruned plants.
