The 2012 Normandy Park Garden Festival

It's not every day Dan Hinkley is in your front yard talking to 100 of your neighbors, but Saturday was one of those days.  The weather was gorgeous - wall to wall blue skies with a slight ocean breeze.  Dan Hinkley brought an incredible selection of rare plants from around the world as he usually does whenever he goes anywhere. 


We hope to do this event again next year, so clear off the first weekend of July 2013!  Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible too - Steve & Ann, Judy, Leola, Kim & Micah, Joyce & Amber, Cindy, Diane, and a big thank you to my parents for working several days straight helping to get everything ready.  Thank you also to Leola's friend who's name starts with an M.  And thank you to Furney's Nursery for loaning us the flowers for free to spruce up the stage.

And finally thank you to everyone who bought plants!  Take good care of them!

  1. Justin, what a cool event. Is it o.k. to attend even if you're not from the neighborhood? If so, I'll mark my calendar now!

    1. None! I was too busy selling my own plants I never got a chance to buy any of Dan's :( Luckily I'll be getting another chance later in the summer.
