Kenton Park Nature Patch

Located at the SW entrance to the park, this pollinator garden was started in 2024 in partnership with Portland's Bureau of Environmental Services. Native plant highlights include Pacific Coast Hybrid Iris, Thimbleberry, Birch-leaved Spirea, Oregon Grape, Sword Fern, Huckleberry, Fringecup, and many more.

A gravel path through garden beds with logs along the way.

Planting events will be happening through winter.
