Hardy Plant Society of Oregon - HPSO
Renowned plantsman Dan Hinkley has collected, grown, observed, introduced and even sold a wide variety of plants over the years. Now, with the benefit of time and experimentation, he has drawn some conclusions about garden plants which, despite their novelty, exquisiteness or pampering, are bound to let us down, and th...ose which, on account of their familiarity, subtlety or effortlessness, are often overlooked or ignored altogether, even though they unfailingly reward us.
Join your fellow HPSO members and Dan as he returns to Portland and shares these insights for the first time with a U.S. audience. He will help us take a fresh look at the palette of plants we grow, so that we may focus on those trees, shrubs, vines and perennials that are indispensable to the lasting beauty and success of the Northwest garden. This Saturday morning program will be accompanied by refreshments, books sales, botanical display, and yes, some wonderful door prizes, too!
Program begins at 9 a.m.
Doors open at 8 a.m. for plant, book and seed sales
$20 for HPSO members, $30 nonmembers.
