About Heronswood
Heronswood was established in 1987 by famed plant hunter and horticulturist Daniel J.Hinkley and his partner Robert Jones, the garden’s architect. Recognized internationally for its beauty and diversity, Heronswood’s display garden features a highly regarded collection of rare and unique plants and has attracted visitors from all over the world. Many of the treasured plants purchased from Heronswood’s nursery during the 1990s live on in the gardens of enthusiasts up and down the West Coast.
Since taking over stewardship of Heronswood, the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe has been actively working to revitalize the garden and create more opportunities for community participation and involvement. These efforts mark a new era for Heronswood, which has been mostly closed to the public since 2006.
