Chasing Spring Flowers in (and near) Portland
I've gained a new appreciation for spring after living in one of the rainiest cities in the country- so I am definitely stopping and smelling the roses. Here are my favorite ways to see flowers in my city!

Roses
They call Portland “Rose City” for a reason! Here are some places to check out if you want to see a ton at once
I got engaged here, so it's near and dear to my heart :)
You'll be shocked how many types of roses there are
In northern Portland, great stop on a run or bike around that neighnorhood!
Cherry Blossoms
They're so fleeting, so make sure to prioritze seeing them during their short peak bloom! There are tons all around the city in different neighborhoods, but here are some offical places to see them
Crowded for a reason- most concentrated place to see the blossoms in the city
It's beautiful year round, but the cherry blossoms here will transport you to Japan!
Not as concentrated as the official sites, but you can find a few trees here! Less crowded and a perfect spot for a picnic
fun way to see cherry blossoms with Mt Hood in the background!
All Other Flowers
the most “grammable” place- try to go on a off time so it isn't as crowded. peak bloom is often in April, but make sure to double check!
So many pretty spring flowers! Right downtown
Spring really comes alive here, perfect weekend activity
A must visit in the spring, so many pretty flowers and cool features!
Drive or bike the fruit loop in Hood River- there are so many amazing fruit stands and some U-Pick flower places (how cool is that?!)
