We’re aware of crazy rumors around town that a world-renowned plant explorer and nurseryman is coming to talk in Manzanita.
That he once owned Heronswood Nursery on the Kitsap Peninsula, a celebrated Mecca for plant lovers far and wide…
That he now owns Windcliff Nursery, so outrageously exclusive that one needs to book in advance to shop there (seriously?)…
That Monrovia Plants thought enough of his explorations and introductions to the plant world that they gave him his very own line of plants…
And that his skills as a gardener are rivaled only by his talents as a comedian (a funny horticulturist. Right).
So. Let’s get real.
We categorically dispute the fact that the celebrated DAN HINKLEY is speaking in Manzanita. In fact, he’s speaking at NCRD in Nehalem.
We cannot deny he did own Heronswood, he does own Windcliff and yes, Monrovia offers a signature plant line called The Dan Hinkley Collection.
But now for the big question: is the guy that funny?
Well, yeah!
Join us April 25th when the Hoffman Wonder Garden presents “My Life in Plants” with the truly inimitable – and admittedly, irresistible – Mr. Dan Hinkley.
(Trust me, I wouldn’t have spent 7 years trying to get the guy here if he wasn’t!).
