You are invited to join Tim, Lorelie, Cathy, and David on a visit to the restored Heronswood garden in Kingston.
The original garden was centered around the home of Dan Hinkley and Robert Jones, who moved there in 1987. During their stay on the 15 acre property, Hinkley and Jones developed a formal garden near their house, and expanded the scope of their vision with a nursery and exotic plants which they found on their world travels.
In 2000, Heronswood was sold to the Burpee Seed Company, which later declared bankruptcy, so by 2006 the garden was closed.
After years of neglect the Port Gamble S’Kallam Tribe purchased Heronswood at auction and became dedicated to rediscovery of lost plants and development of new garden areas and collections.

It’s August now and the pinks are running on the West Coast. The Glenda Faye makes a move from the north to Clarence Straits, to the coasts of Dall Island and Noyes Island. A successful or mediocre season hangs in the balance of a few weeks on the coast. Fishing in constant swells and steep seas replaces the comfort and safety of fishing inside waters. Chances are taken . . .
