I am for a boycott! The last time I was at Heronswood, just a few weeks ago, I spoke with one of the women grooming the perennial beds. She was telling me how much she loved her job, and what a special pleasure it was to work in such a world class garden. You could tell that the garden meant more than just a job to her. It is absolutely beyond the pale that Burpee would do this. There is just no excuse for treating people that way. I'm not sure what was in it for them to be so abrupt in their dealings with the Heronswood site. It is a huge loss for the NW gardening community.
Gwen, Dan and his partner haven't live at Heronswood for awhile now. They bought another house and are creating another garden. But he was still involved at Heronswood giving seminars and lectures.
Here are some photos I took at Heronswood last summer. We can all grieve together as we look at them.
