The Oregon Garden in Silverton (only miles from Silver Falls) is a spectacular 80 acre botanical garden with 20 specialty gardens and an adjoining resort. (Check out the specials for a great get away weekend!)

Admission for adults is $11, seniors are $9, kids 12-17 are $8, children 5-11 are $5 and under 4s are free.

Once inside take a tram ride or walk on foot to tour the beautiful grounds. Near the Oak Grove (backtrack just slightly from tram stop #4 if you're taking the tram) you'll find the official 'Welcome to Oak Grove'. The dirt path just to the left of this welcome will take you past the plaque for the Signature Oak. This glorious gal is over 400 years old and one of Oregon's cherished Heritage Trees. Continue on that path past a log fence on your right and into the shade of the forest. The path will quickly fork then and you'll veer right toward more log fences. Count 5 vertical fence posts on your right and you'll be viewing the Signature Oak once again. Behind and slightly to the left of that fifth post where two large boulders meet, a pile of smaller rocks lie in the cleave. Under these you'll find our Beaver.

Please reseal and re-hide well. This garden is well maintained but we're hoping this little nook will get overlooked.

(Note that Hedgie the Hedgehog also resides somewhere in these garden grounds.)
