Gardens are spaces for growth, rest, and healing.

Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden is the perfect place to find replenishment and relief along the winding pathways and changing fall foliage.

On Monday, October 10, we are waiving admission to the garden for World Mental Health Day, a yearly opportunity to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and to mobilize efforts in support of mental health.

While admissions are vital support of the garden’s work, we wanted to bring awareness to and mark this important day by making sure anyone who wants to connect with the tranquility and joy of the garden can do so. Regular admission prices will resume on Tuesday, October 11.

Garden gates will open at 10:00am and last admission is 3:30pm, with the garden closing at 4:00pm. We hope you can join us on Monday to experience one of Portland’s most treasured public gardens.

For those who are able, you are welcome to make a donation in support of the garden’s work.
