RE: Heronswood

Their web site is still up and active.  Hmmm. I couldn't get the article to
come up for me.

Well, I am just sickened.  Heronswood is - was - a magical place.  It was
the highlight of our trip to the Northwest several years ago and I can't
imagine it's demise.  I hope the county or some private interests buy the
property and maintain it as a botanical garden.  What Hinckley created
should not be lost.  What a tragedy.  But then, when the sale to Burpee was
announced I'm sure a lot of people, as I did, thought ultimately no good
could come of the change.

From another list- Burpee, which bought the wonderful Heronswood Nursery,
has closed it without warning. While I couldn't grow a lot of plants that
they sold due to my horribly hot climate, I was fascinated by their gardens
and by their catalog.
