  Start off the Friends of Historic Forest Grove's Open Garden Tours with a visit to a one-of-a-kind sanctuary on Hawthorne.  The historical farm house is surrounded by gated gardens, espaliered fruit trees, lush vegetation, and a serene pond just off the back porch. Expertly tended by owners Lucy Jones and Mark Garretson, this garden showcases the beauty of late spring and the promise of a bountiful harvest.

  This inviting garden blends lush perennials, over 30 vibrant rose bushes, and sweeping ornamental grasses to create a private, park-like retreat. Guests can wander past two tranquil ponds, beneath espaliered apple trees and blueberry bushes, and alongside petite lemon, lime, and orange trees that add a touch of warmth. A graceful Japanese maple anchors the landscape, while a covered patio and cozy fire pit area offer welcoming spaces to relax and enjoy the surroundings. A thoughtfully designed ADU, created as a welcoming mother-in-law home and tucked into the garden, adds charm and purpose, complemented by layered plantings and a thriving honeybee hive that supports the abundant blooms throughout the property.
