Squirrel Oak Farms
Seven mature native white oak trees are a highlight of this property, inspiring the owners to recreate the oak savannas and prairies that once dominated the Willamette Valley. Most of the lawn was removed and planted with over sixty natives that complement this unique ecosystem. Plant varieties include oceanspray, indian plum, red flowering currant, choke cherries, mock orange, camas, thimbleberry, oval leaf viburmum and romers fescue to name a few. A gravel path leads through various native planting zones, a chicken coop housing 14 chickens, a wildlife pond, several raised beds for vegetables and fruit, a greenhouse, and a fun treehouse that also shares space with resident mason bees. A Fairoaks treasure.

Wildwood Gardens
This unique garden on River Forest Lake is filled with color and texture both from the plantings and the beautiful, hand-hewn architectural features. It includes old growth fragments, natives and exotics—plus a creek and a friendly cat called Audrey. Enjoy the shared vision of two local artists!

Wood Duck Pond
Two bridges lovingly hand crafted by the owner’s late husband anchor this sprawling wildlife habitat on a natural creek and pond. He also built the wood duck boxes for the annual baby hatch. Lush gardens surrounding the property include many beautiful roses which should be in full bloom. A hidden gem!
