Meet the Greats: Fernwood Virtual Lecture Series
In 1987, Dan Hinkley and partner Robert L. Jones founded the famous Heronswood Nursery and Garden in Washington state. Devoted to introducing rare and unusual plants to gardeners of North America, this endeavor has led Dan into the wilds across the globe for more than 20 years. Dan has spent his career plant hunting, writing, speaking, teaching, and conducting plant research. A native of north central Michigan, he began his academic career as a horticulture student at Michigan State University. Dan will share before, during, and after images, and the principles, philosophies, and practicalities that guided him in the creation of his second garden, Windcliff, that sits on a high bluff overlooking Puget Sound. He emphasizes the principles he has learned over a lifetime of gardening that lead to a good garden in whatever zone one lives.
