The kids’ll be home on Tuesday ( 11/11 ) anyway, so why not take them to the Portland Japanese Garden? It’ll be cool and rainy, a perfect time to contemplate the serenity of this garden. At the heart of the Japanese garden is harmony with nature, and Oregon’s autumn, winter and spring is naturally damp. Through the careful use of environmental items like plants, stones and water, pools of serene quiet beauty emerge.
Also, the garden will be taking donations for the Oregon Food Bank. Requested but not required, you can bring non-perishable food like canned meat (tunafish), boxed meals (macaroni and cheese), peanut butter, canned or dried beans, pasta, rice, cereal, canned fruits and 100 percent fruit juice.
10AM-4PM, at the garden.
611 SW Kingston Avenue
Portland, Oregon 97205
If the kids are too rambunctious, head downhill and south of the rose garden to the children’s play structure. In the rain and mud it’s sure to be a hit!
