This is a very unique nursery and garden located outside of Kingston, Washington. Many people are familiar with the name of the owner, Daniel Hinkley, who is also known for his speaking and writing skills. Dan has made incredible contributions to the horticultural community. The nursery catalog alone has become an object of worship! These pictures were taken on a visit to the garden a few years ago. Tours are available by appointment only and well worth the effort.
