April 21, 2026JD NNoise warning for people with sensory issues
The garden itself is lovely, but the gardening crew often have loud machinery that they operate with no prior warning. The space is set up so that the sound echoes everywhere. You can ask at the front desk to halt the noisy activity or delay it but the gardening crew may not agree. Last time I was there, the garden crew agreed to stop the noise during visiting hours, but that turned out to be a lie, and they started up the machinery again anyway. I have been forced to leave the garden on two separate occasions because it was impossible to enjoy the space with the ongoing obnoxious sounds. Please be prepared.

September 18, 2025carlotaTravel4funI must see if you are visiting Silverton.
The Oregon Garden is beautifully laid out. It has many themed and diverse areas. I would encourage you to take the tram ride ($4 pp) to get the lay of the land and then go back to roam around areas you would like to explore further. It is a vast area and impossible to take it all in. A very enjoyable afternoon.

Beautiful environment
The garden is vastly improving after having been mismanaged by the resort. Once the resort was removed from managing the garden, it improved immensely. It is also recovering from an ice storm a few years ago. Given the challenges of the past the garden is an amazing asset to the town of Silverton and the Willamette Valley. There’s still some things to be done but overall it is an amazing place to visit.
