Leach Botanical Garden is a botanical garden located in outer southeast Portland, Oregon. It was acquired by the Portland Park Bureau in 1971. The garden was established in 1931 as landscaping for the private home of botanist Lilla Leach〔(Lilla Leach (1886–1980), Oregon Encyclopedia )〕 and pharmacist John Leach, and subsequently donated to the city. The garden was originally named Sleepy Hollow. Lilla Leach was the first recipient of the Eloise Payne Luquer Medal, awarded by the Garden Club of America in 1950, for distinguished achievement in botany. From 1945 until 1948, she was director of Save the Myrtle Wood, Inc.〔(Guide to the Lilla Leach Papers at the University of Oregon )〕 The garden currently features a diverse collection of over 2,000 hybrids, cultivars, native and non-native plants, including alpines, medicinal herbs, rock garden plants, camellias, and 40 genera and over 125 species of ferns. Many are labeled. The property is divided by Johnson Creek〔 and most of the land is on an incline. A self-guided tour winds along trails with views of firs, ferns, and wildflowers. The garden's director is David Porter.〔 Image:Leach Botan1.JPG|Stone Cabin Image:Leach Botan2.JPG|Rock garden Image:Leach Botan4.JPG|Leach Manor entrance ==See also== * List of botanical gardens in the United States 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leach Botanical Garden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
