Green Guide to The Oregon Garden

Here at the Oregon Garden we strive above and beyond creating beautiful landscapes for humans to
enjoy. We want to make sure that a diversity of plants and animals can thrive here as well.

We try to minimize our use of resources and to use renewable, non-toxic resources as often as possible. We strive to not only reduce our impact on the environment, but to help clean up ecosystems by integrating the needs of people and wildlife.

Throughout The Garden and throughout this site you will see our Green Guide Sign. This will give you information on the innovative ways in which the Oregon Garden is demonstrating environmental, economic, and social sustainability.

When you arrive at The Garden you can pick up our Green Guide and take the self-guided tour. Simply follow the map in the Green Guide and look for this Green Guide Sign throughout the Garden.
