An Hour is Not Enough Time!
We had an hour or so to spend while waiting for a family member flying into Eugene. I looked up things to do in the area and found the Owen Rose Garden. It was an awesome experience and we only wished we had more time to spend there! Go if you get the chance!!

Beautiful
My friends and I visited when everything was in bloom. There was even an artist painting the beautiful arches. It was lovely, especially in the evening during sunset.

Even if you don't like to smell the roses!
Even if you are not a rose aficionado, and don't particularly like the smell of roses, you will enjoy a walk in this garden. It wasn't so huge as to be overwhelming, and the variety of roses was quite amazing.

Sesory delight
Early June was a perfect time to walk under a rose bower into this glorious garden. Plantings are arrayed from historic roses to newer varieties, in beds of tea roses and floribundas, trellis walls, and arbors. It's a delight for multiple senses! Don't miss the huge, ancient cherry tree or nearby views of the Willamette River. Having spoken a few minutes with a volunteer docent as we were leaving, I imagine a tour--also free--would be interesting.
