It’s hydrangea time in the Pacific Northwest…

Join NHS and your NHS hosts, Gillian Mathews and Renee Montgelas for a full day touring gardens, with a focus on Hydrangeas, in the Kingston/Indianola area of the Kitsap Peninsula.

The tour will start at Richie Steffen and Rick Peterson’s evolving garden on their ten-acre property which they started developing in 2018. Obsessive collectors, they have amassed substantial collections of rhododendrons, epimediums, ferns and hydrangeas, along with many perennials for both sun and shade.

Moving on to Heronswood Garden for a tour with Garden Director Dr. Ross Bayton. After our tour we will have lunch at Heronswood.

Following lunch we will visit Nancy Heckler’s secluded woodland garden in Indianola, filled with woodland treasures. Nancy is a passionate gardener, plant collector and nature lover. Her garden is jam-packed with an amazing collection of plants and nearly 100 different hydrangeas.

The final stop on our tour is Windcliff, the home and garden of Dan Hinkley and Robert Jones. The house was designed by Robert, and the garden is primarily plant-driven, showcasing Dan’s collection work of 35 plus years. After a tour of the garden with Dan, there will be an opportunity to purchase Windcliff plants.

We encourage you to carpool.
