The gardens boast over 2,500 rhododendrons, azaleas, and other companion plants, making it one of the largest collections in the Pacific Northwest.
The gardens were established in 1950 by the Portland Chapter of the American Rhododendron Society, transforming a former cow pasture into a botanical haven.
Crystal Springs is home to over 94 species of birds, including wood ducks, great blue herons, and bald eagles, making it a popular spot for bird enthusiasts.
The gardens feature a series of picturesque waterfalls and tranquil ponds, which are fed by the natural springs that give the gardens their name.
While the rhododendrons bloom in spring, the gardens offer seasonal beauty with vibrant fall foliage and serene winter landscapes.
Crystal Springs hosts various events throughout the year, including plant sales, educational tours, and the annual Mother's Day Rhododendron Show.
