Winter Solstice Celebration at Leach Botanical Garden

Leach Botanical Garden invites you to take part in a tribute to the sun’s return at the Winter Solstice celebration.

Leach Botanical Garden is a natural oasis nestled in Southeast Portland. The 16-acre estate features more than 2,000 plant species growing along the banks of Johnson Creek. Adding to the unique charm is the historic manor house, stone cabin, bridge crossing and gift shop.

Stroll among the treetops on the aerial treewalk and see a whole new side of the garden at the fireside arbor and terrace, and pollinator garden in the upper garden.
