Music is healing 

From June to September, the Friends of Portland Memory Garden will host live music in the garden twice a month from 11:30 am to 1 pm, weather permitting. 

Like nature, music offers therapeutic benefits—helping to soothe, uplift, and spark connection.

Join us in the garden for a joyful live music experience!

The Portland Memory Garden at Ed Benedict Park provides a calm, nature focused experience for older adults, people with disabilities, and all park visitors. 

Portland Parks & Recreation partners with the Friends of Portland Memory Garden to support ongoing garden stewardship and seasonal programming. To learn more about the friend group, visit their website.
