(Portland Tribune) — A scenic, tranquil garden tucked away in the Rose City has been called on as the prettiest garden to visit in Oregon.

Alexis Benveniste, a writer and editor with HGTV, a cable network, magazine, and news site focused on stories about homes and gardens, claims the Portland Japanese Garden is the most beautiful garden one could visit in the state.

“These 50 spots make our hearts flutter when we think about their colorful flower beds, inventive landscaping and inspiring art,” Benveniste writes in the article, which showcases the most beautiful garden in each state.

The Portland Japanese Garden, 611 Kingston Ave., was designed in 1963, offering an all-encompassing experience between eight separate garden styles, an authentic tea house, streams, walkways, views of Mount Hood and more. A nonprofit, the garden is rooted in core values of inspiration, serenity and tranquility, while providing an authentic representation of Japanese culture, tradition and aesthetics.
