Madras Garden Depot

A few shots of our small cactus display garden at the nursery. The cactuses were starting to close for the night. If you are curious about hardy cactus & how to grow and care for them, or, you have absolutely nowhere to put them, but admire them and just want to take some amazing images in a very special garden with Smith Rock in the background, contact us about our garden field trip this Saturday July 2nd. #coldhardycactus #cactusflower #drygardens #xericplants #centraloregonlandscaping #centraloregongarden

Today's front porch bug show: a just emerged swallowtail taking a little break until it's wings unfurl properly; The bees are thirsty, for 2 days they've been hanging out on the hydrant when we fill the stock tanks for the horses and cows; The bees also enjoyed the little pools of water on our old concrete walkway. #centraloregongarden #beesofinstagram #swallowtail #waterislife

This Saturday, July 2nd 1pm we're hosting a hardy cactus field trip to see 'peak bloom' at Smith Rock Cactus in Terrebonne, a private cactus garden on the edge of the Crooked River canyon, with immediate views of Smith Rock.

Anyone else living in zone 5-6 miss Coulter's Matilija poppy, Romneya coulteri? 😔 This colony was extremely happy growing in a xeric planting on a slope in Nevada City el.2,500, above a parking lot @briarpatchcoop They have installed a delightful garden for picnicking and walking dogs. Lots and lots of pollinator favorites besides the Matilija poppies such as Germander and English lavender. #centraloregonlandscaping #centraloregongarden #nevadacity #xeriscape #pollinatorgardens #germander #teucriumchamaedrys #romneyacoulteri #matilijapoppy
