Windermere Real Estate - Mike Tucker - Smart Homes

One of my favorite “art galleries” in Bend isn’t technically an art gallery.

It’s Formation Stone.

I stop by from time to time and wander through the stone slabs like I’m walking through a museum. The polished rock, the movement, the color, the layers — each one feels like a landscape, an abstract painting, and a little piece of geologic history all at once.

Yes, they make incredible countertops.

But honestly? They’re also just beautiful to look at.

A reminder that sometimes the best art is hiding in plain sight — even in the places where people are picking finishes for a kitchen remodel.

Come join us for the WinterCreek Native Plant Garden Tour on Saturday, June 20th!

A few of us are meeting for coffee beforehand at Lone Pine Coffee — Eastside at 8:30 AM, then we’ll caravan together to the tour.

It should be a fun morning of coffee, native gardens, fresh ideas, and a little inspiration from what others in our community have been growing.

Want to join us?

Comment or DM me PLANTS and I’ll send you the meetup and ticket details.

Join Mike and Abby this Saturday at WinterCreek Nursery for a relaxed morning of conversation, coffee, and community.

As a local Realtor and lender, we love helping people connect not just with homes — but with the people, ideas, and places that make Central Oregon special.

At 10:30am, we’ll sit down with WinterCreek founder Rick Martinson to talk about native landscaping, restoration, water-wise gardening, and the bigger vision behind this unique community space.

Coffee, pastries, good conversation, and a beautiful setting.

Saturday
10:00am–12:00pm
Conversation with Rick begins at 10:30am
