Christmas in the Garden is a spectacular time to visit The Oregon Garden. Between Thanksgiving and the end of December part of the garden is decorated with Christmas lights. Besides seeing thousands of Christmas lights guests can also ice skate and tube down a snowless tubing track. During the event they offer German food, drinks, and goods. The mission of The Oregon Garden is to welcome and inspire all visitors with an appreciation for the extraordinary ecology of the Pacific Northwest, and to provide a meaningful educational experience for gardeners of all skill levels and ages. The Oregon Garden hosts a variety of events throughout the year that are fun for the entire family including the pets.
