Dan Hinkley and Robert Jones, founders of Heronswood Nursery ( now closed ) began their second garden in 2000, purchasing 5 acres of land atop a Pugest Sound bluff near the village of Indianola, WA on the Kitsap Peninsula. The land had originally been gardened for nearly 40 years with an existing framework of mature ornamental and native trees and shrubs, though the majority of the acreage was maintained as mown turf. While Jones, an architect, designed an Arts and Crafts style home ( construction completed in March 2004 ) Hinkley began replacing the turf with a wide range of drought tolerant plants. . He chose to plant directly into the existing sod after having killed it by repeated applications of undistilled vinegar ( applied when the ambient air temperature rises above 75F) After four years, the successes are beginning to reveal themselves. The following plant species and selections were those covered by Hinkley during his recent talk at the 2008 Northwest Flower and Garden Show.
1. Agapanthus campanulatus
2. Agapanthus ‘Blue Leap’
3. Agapanthus inapterus ‘Graskop’

From Heronswood to Windcliff
Dan Hinkley
www.danieljhinkley.com
My second garden called Windcliff, a property named by the first residents of this land, is five acres in size and on the end of a dead end road near Indianola, WA. The property was purchased in 2000 and though some garden structure existed, our gardening approach did not commence until 2002. Construction of the house and 'garden proper' began in early 2003 and we moved to the property in early summer of 2004. This presentation is meant to illustrate the attempt to design a house and garden as one entity while using the lay of land and sense of place for its inspiration. I have listed some of the major plant species illustrated in these slides, however as this is primarily a design focused talk, not all are listed.
