Multnomah Falls
If you were a raised planting bed with over pruned shrubs and out of control invasive weeds and if you were located just steps away from the spray of Multnomah Falls, and tucked in right between the architectural gem of Multnomah Falls Lodge and the world famous Historic Colombia River Hwy, you would want a makeover too!
Saturday April 28th will be the first weekend for viewing the new plantings at the Mulnomah Falls Lodge Plaza!
To celebrate we want to share some of the wonderful and interesting images that show how the falls have changed over the years. Actually, Multnomah falls hasen’t changed much at all, but the people have and with them the fashion! Oh the Fashion! You have to see what people were wearing for a day trip to the Gorge in 1930! And then, you have to plan yours!
Before you go, or while you are there, take a look at our Multnomah Falls Plant a Day posts to learn more about our favorite native plants for Multnomah Falls Lodge and your garden. The first post is already up!
Its going to be a busy two weeks! I can’t think of a better way to kick off spring.
