Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden, Botanical garden in southeast Portland, Oregon.
The 9.49-acre garden contains 2,500 rhododendrons and azaleas alongside small lakes, paths, fountains, and waterfalls between Reed College and Eastmoreland Golf Course.
The site transformed from a Shakespeare theater and blackberry-covered land in 1950 when the Portland Chapter of American Rhododendron Society established a test garden.
The garden hosts annual spring flower exhibitions, including an Early Show in April and a larger display during Mother's Day weekend.
The garden opens from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Thursday through Tuesday and 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM on Wednesdays, with admission fees of $8.95 for adults.
The garden contains patches of marsh vegetation and submerged logs that attract 94 species of birds, including grebes, herons, ducks, and hummingbirds.
