Get Back Into Nature This Spring at Portland Japanese Garden Why now is the best time to rediscover this Portland landmark: as if you needed an excuse to get outside. William Sutton Updated 12:22 PM It’s time to thaw out, Portland. As vaccines roll out, and Portland opens, it seems that our collective emergence from a year of hibernation is perfectly synchronized with flourishing vegetation. Tulips are bursting, magnolias are blooming, and our city’s greenery is more verdant than ever. If you can’t get enough of the glory of Springtime in Portland from those neighborhood walks, head to Portland Japanese Garden our city’s slice of Eden.
