Let’s set the record straight.

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!).

Musical Storytime, a hands-on activity for preschoolers, will be held at 10 a.m. Monday, April 7th at the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita.
The free readings, for children ages 3 to 5, will feature a live oboe accompaniment by North Oregon Coast Symphony musician, Laurie Swanson. This month children will hear Do Like a Duck Does by Judy Hindley and Ivan Bates. In this story a mother duck is on a walk with her ducklings when suddenly a large, furry, brown duck joins the group. Drama, rhythm, and sunny images in this book make it a favorite with young children. Swanson will talk more about the instruments she plays, the oboe and English horn, and will demonstrate playing both during this event. After the reading, children will experience playing some different wind instruments.
Similar events are being planned monthly in partnership between The North Oregon Coast Symphony, North Tillamook Library and Astoria Library. For more information, visit the symphony’s website at www.nocsymphony.org. or www.astoria.gov/dept/Library at 503-325-7323.

Hands Off! Tillamook County Fights Back organized by Hands Off
Hands Off! Tillamook County Fights Back
Rally · Volunteer organized
Saturday, April 5
12 – 2pm PDT
11 Main Ave
Tillamook, OR 97141

About this event
Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. Tillamook County is fighting back!

They’re taking everything they can get their hands on—our health care, our data, our jobs, our services—and daring the world to stop them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now.

On Saturday, April 5th, we’re taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off!

Where: Sue Elmore Park at Junction of HWY 101 and Highway 6 When: 12:00 Noon, April 5, 2025

This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country.

A core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

Check out handsoff2025.com for more information.
