Argyle Park Topiary Garden (Public Demonstration)
Posted on April 23, 2015
Argyle Park, near the Portland Zoo, hosts a 5-acre topiary garden, complete with turtle pond, that was built with funds provided by the state lottery. The garden is pet-friendly, and people can often be spotted walking their dogs amongst the spiral, oval, and animal-shaped trees.

- Our initial design sketch shows the complexity of the overall landscape design, and how all the individual garden segments relate as a whole entity.

- Heavenly scents of juniper, spruce, and lavender fill the air around this topiary maze.
-
- The wood benches, created by a talented local woodworker, are the perfect addition to the symmetrical design proportions.
-
- This less-refined canopy of mushroom-shaped trees provides a break from the more formal topiary forms, and lends an air of whimsy.

- Animal topiaries bask in the sunlight alongside red snapper turtles that make their home in the neighboring pond.
