The Garden is a bouldering area in Oregon, about 5 miles from the town of Foster. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Pink Tag Boulders just 0.3 miles away and The Garden Boulders and Fight Club Boulder each about 0.4 miles off. The area is a compact, close-together set of boulders, and the routes here are all bouldering grades from V0 up to V6. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Cascadia weather station show July and August highs around 79 to 80°F with only about four wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-40s and rain on most days. The four routes listed here range from the easy Roach at V0 to the harder Breadloaf Traverse at V6. Breadloaf Left is at V4, and Scratch and Spliff Traverse is a V1-2 traverse.
