Overview
Tucked along the free-flowing Johnson Creek in outer Southeast Portland, Leach Botanical Garden is a restorative urban greenspace centered on the remarkable collection of the garden's founders, Lilla and John Leach — Pacific Northwest plant explorers who discovered several new species in the early 20th century. Today, the garden's carefully maintained native plant collection and riparian habitat create year-round habitat for Anna's Hummingbirds, one of Oregon's few year-round resident species. Rufous Hummingbirds arrive in spring to join them, creating lively territorial encounters among the blooming currant, salal, and Oregon grape. Bird Alliance of Oregon has recognized the garden's birding value with special programming events, making this a community-embedded, well-supported destination.
