The Elk Rock Garden, located in Portland's Dunthorpe neighborhood, is a historic estate created by Scottish immigrant Peter Kerr. Spanning nearly 10 acres, the garden features picturesque pathways, streams, and a diverse array of plants, including Scottish species and Pacific Northwest natives, all while offering breathtaking views of the Willamette River and Mount Hood.

Since its inception, the garden has been meticulously maintained and remains open to the public, thanks to the efforts of the Elk Rock Garden Foundation and local descendants of Peter Kerr. The estate also serves as a space for nonprofit organizations, fostering a sustainable future while honoring its rich history.
