Thanks to our April 2024 Volunteers who working like surgeons, carefully removing the invasive ivy while simultaneously protecting and saving our native plants. Now our native plants will have room to spread and thrive

The Walpole Garden artwork covering the utility box was applied Tuesday morning, April 9th. Many thanks to Northwest Natural Gas for installing this and partnering with Friends of Terwilliger whose vision is to showcase these century-old illustrations for all to see.
The Frederick Andrews Walpole Garden is a public garden created in the strip of land between SW Terwilliger Boulevard and SW Hamilton Terrace with spectacular, unobstructed views of the Willamette Valley and Mount Hood. The garden is named after Frederick Andrews Walpole, a major US botanical illustrator hired by the US government who settled in Portland and built his home at Eagle Point in 1894. The project has been developed by the Friends of Terwilliger and Portland Parks & Recreation over the past six years: reflecting our volunteer capacity, funds raised, and exploring what
works in the area.

2023 is now in the rear-view mirror and it’s time to congratulate ourselves for our restoration accomplishments.
Were you a part of our native planting event in December 2023 at Eagle Point in the Terwilliger Parkway?
A big round of applause for our wonderful volunteers who helped us rid Historic Terwilliger Parkway of those darn invasive plants like ivy and blackberries. Yeah!!!!
