Chickadee Gardens emerged as a small, lush haven nestled within the vibrant heart of urban Portland, Oregon. Tamara and her husband stand as the driving forces behind their gardening pursuits. Their commitment goes beyond ornamental plants, extending to nurturing lively chickens and cultivating a substantial portion of their own food, all within the framework of sustainable gardening practices. Despite the ever-evolving designs that shape their garden, their steadfast goal remains unchanged to provide a haven for chickadees, bees, insects, family members, feline companions, and more.
Tamara's journey in gardening began during her six-year tenure at Joy Creek Nursery in Scappoose, Oregon. This experience granted her access to a remarkable array of plant materials, reflecting the diverse landscape of her garden. Her penchant for rearranging and introducing various plants is evident in the flourishing oasis she has cultivated.
Nowadays, Tamara's garden embodies a harmonious blend of sustainable gardening practices and a profound appreciation for the beauty of nature. Their journey serves as an inviting invitation for us all to explore the enchanting world of plants, animals, and the pure delight that thrives within their peaceful sanctuary.
