Marquis resident Kathy—known by her friends as “Trouble”—has always lived life boldly. She’d done everything from scuba-diving to skiing and calligraphy, but she had never visited the Portland Japanese Garden. 🌸
The Marquis Tualatin team planned a special day just for her, starting with a bus ride alongside her high school best friend up into Washington Park. At the gardens, Kathy explored peaceful paths lined with bonsai trees, koi ponds, and tranquil streams, taking in every detail and even picking out a few souvenirs along the way.
The day continued at the International Rose Test Garden, where memories came rushing back. Smelling the blooms, she smiled and shared: “My boyfriend and I used to sneak in here at night and take flowers to bring home to our mothers.” 💐
Once they returned to Marquis Tualatin, everyone was happily stuffed from lunch, still carrying big smiles and lots of joy from their adventures in the gardens of Portland. ✨💕
