The Oregon Garden - Botanical garden in Silverton - 879 W Main St, USA

This is a beautiful place that we didn't really know about until a month ago. The size of the gardens rivals anything in a big city, and is extremely well laid out. The garden art and sculptures were lovely. The only thing I was disappointed in was the secret garden. It was not well maintained and almost felt "forgotten". There is a large tram that will take you everywhere if you can't or don't want to walk. We will definitely come back with our Mom, and try to see it at Christmas too.

We visited the Oregon Garden at the beginning of September for a special homeschool day event. The gardens were beautiful! There were many different flowers, plants, and water features to see. It was a lovely walk. The kids had a lot of fun - there were frogs and caterpillars to find, a big pirate ship to play on, a dinosaur fossil sand pit to dig in, an underground tunnel to crawl through, some cute chickens to see... And more :) the staff were all friendly and very kind as well! We spent over 4 hours there. Lots of spaces to have a picnic with your family and friends.

What isn’t amazing about this place? I’ve always had an amazing time booking the girlfriend experience! The massages are the best around!

120 acres of peace and serenity! I made the mistake and came here for the first time yesterday! Now, I am going to purchase the season pass and come once a month! I am going to take the tram every time and find my favorite, of the 25 unique gardens, then walk my 10,000 steps. It is the perfect place to get exercise because they have 5 miles of pathways! I am so glad I found Marion County! Just driving to the garden, you feel the fertility and fruitfulness of the soil. I just wish every plot had a sign to label what was growing! This will be a perfect field trip for my students too!

Really lovely. Feels a world away from Salem, yet is less than a 30 minute drive. Wish we lived close enough to visit a few times a year to see how it looks in different seasons. Definitely spend the small fee ($3 when we were there) for the tram ride overview before setting out to explore on foot.

This place is like a Shangri-La, a hidden utopia. Every turn takes you to a new garden. See if you can find the blue snake hunting for tree frogs in the pond in my first picture. The other four pictures were from last summer. That tells you how much we love this place. Plus they got the best fireworks show on July the 4th eve.

The Gardens have come such a long way from its early days. I finally bought a membership to support its continued growth and expansion. The grounds are relaxing and beautiful, and I love that dogs are welcome. There is a small nursery onsite that sells great plants at minimal cost, and a lovely gift shop to browse. I'm a little concerned about the reed canary grass that has taken over the wetlands. Eliminating it will be costly and time-consuming but eventually ecologically necessary. Regardless, the Gardens are a great place to take visiting friends and family or to spend a day on your own. Highly recommended.

Lovely well maintained garden and the colors of the flowers make the garden more beautiful. Butterflies hover around the flowers. Saw lots of bees too. One can take the tram too if one does not want to walk around the garden. I was really mesmerized after seeing so many types of beautiful trees and flowers. It is a must visit.
