The story of John and Lilla Leach is a compelling one—involving early Oregon history, botany, business, civic involvement, a lively personal history, and an inspiring love story. John’s spirited courtship of Lilla resulted in their unusual wedding, followed by their intrepid adventures together in the mountains, Lilla's distinguished career in botany, and John’s career as a pharmacist and civic leader. The garden is a testament to their extraordinary lives, and the Manor House at the heart of the garden remains essentially unchanged from when it was built in 1936.
