Owen Rose Garden — Attraction in Eugene

Oh, Owen Rose Garden, you bloomed your way into my heart and made me feel like a botanical connoisseur! Now, let's dive into this bloomin' awesome review.

First off, let me just say that even though not all the roses were in season, it didn't dampen my spirits one bit. This garden was a sight to behold! It was like stepping into a fragrant wonderland where colors and scents danced together in perfect harmony. I found myself surrounded by nature's artwork, and oh boy, it was a feast for the eyes and nose!

Now, here's where the comedic plot twist comes in. Picture this: I'm strolling through this serene garden, feeling all zen and at peace with the world when suddenly, out of nowhere, a heated bike argument breaks out! Yep, you heard it right. Apparently, those folks on their two-wheeled contraptions couldn't agree on whose turn it was to ring the bell. Talk about a thorny situation in a rose garden!

But fear not, dear readers, for even amidst the bike-fueled drama, Owens Rose Garden remained a tranquil haven. The beauty of the flowers and the gentle rustling of leaves managed to calm my soul, despite the occasional bike-induced chaos. It was like Mother Nature herself was reminding me to stop and smell the roses, while also giving me a good laugh.

So, if you're in need of some floral therapy and a sprinkle of unexpected amusement, Owens Rose Garden is the place to be. Just remember to keep an eye out for those drama-seeking bicyclists. Five stars? Absolutely! Owens Rose Garden, you've shown me that even in the midst of floral tranquility, life can throw in a dash of comedy. Keep blooming and keep the bike battles...

I personally didn't actually walk around the gardens. I was doordashing and my phone died on me and I needed someplace to sit where I could charge. While doing so, I usually put up window coverings so I can work on art projects and not have people ogling at the girl working on art in her car, plus they're reflective so it helps it to stay cool in my car.

As I was finishing up with my rocks and getting my car ready to go back out to work, I turned on some music; and I tend to sing... like... a lot! 🤣

I started quietly, and the next thing I knew, I was really loud... and the atmosphere was great!! I didn't get any dirty looks from the parkgoers, once i had taken down my window coverings and was putting my car back together.

The few people who did look towards me were smiling :)

I felt very welcome to be me while.i was hanging out♡

I would say 5☆ but I didn't actually experience...

---Beware of the bird sized masquitos---

Otherwise a lovely place with a great atmosphere! I sat for a while and read before joining a large party of individuals for an outdoor gathering. The smell of the flowers was beautiful! Even as it got dark, the smell changed into something even more wonderful. I really enjoyed myself, both by myself and while with others.

At night the bat's were very cool to watch.

I will say I ended the night with at least 20 masquito bites that I didn't even feel for a day until they broke out into huge welts. The masquitos bit me through jeans and jacket and I'm sure it would have been much worse if not for the crowd of people. A blood buffet. I would just be prepared for that, both in regards to bringing repellent etc and also in regards to the psychological damage. 😂

Also at least one friend had to leave due to her allergies. Another thing to be...
