Washington County Museum

Scottish naturalist David Douglas made a series of wide-ranging forays as a collector for the London Horticultural Society. Headquartered at Fort Vancouver, the scope of his work stretched far beyond garden plants. This slide presentation will trace Douglas’s adventures in the Portland and Willamette areas while connecting stories about the flora, fauna, people, and landscapes he described to the places that we see today.

The lecture is sponsored by Farmington Gardens and the David Douglas Society. A book signing with Jack will follow the presentation. The doors open at 6:30 pm and the event is free and open to the public.
