Thank you for making our nibble fundraiser a success!
On Sunday September 13th close to 200 supporters gathered at the Garden to celebrate with music, food, drink, art, and plants. Many delightful connections and memories were made!

After an extraordinary year of community support, the Garden is looking toward its future with optimism. The next Executive Director will build on that support by strengthening philanthropy, cultivating community partnerships, and providing the leadership needed to guide the Garden’s future.

This last year was a wild ride. Those of you who follow along know the precarious financial position in which we found ourselves in January, and the impressive rally, buoyed by Leach Garden supporters, that turned the tide on our situation to let us confidently move forward with the Pedestrian Bridge installation, the East 5 trail opening, and the arched willow entrance into the Far Meadow. Nothing was certain in January. Now we can see our way forward well into 2027 and beyond.

Join Portland Parks & Recreation at Leach Botanical Garden for No Ivy Day.
English and Irish Ivy grows out of control in our local ecosystems. By removing ivy and planting native species, we give our native plants and our wildlife a fighting chance to survive and thrive in our beautiful and unique urban natural areas.


Save the Date for our annual Winterfest & Wreath Sale, a festive weekend celebration that brings together nature lovers, families, and local holiday shoppers. Guests can stroll through the crisp winter grounds, shop a bustling holiday market featuring artisan goods and nature-themed gifts, enjoy hot beverages and seasonal music, and take home gorgeous, hand-crafted botanical wreaths.
