Third-Annual Garden Tour 2019

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.
