Mr. Hinkley, of the famed Heronswood Nursery in Kingston, Washington, is an expert on plants and seeds from around the world. His nursery and catalog are known for their unusual offerings. In addition to his experience at his nursery, he was a professor at Edmonds Community College in Edmonds, Washington, and wrote The Explorer’s Garden: Rare and Unusual Perennials.

Mr. Hinkley will discuss the countless species of trees, shrubs, and vines from Asia that have had an enormous impact on Western horticulture. He will lead us back to the origins of many of these plants, including Japan, China, Taiwan, Nepal, and Korea, while examining newly introduced taxa that may have a lasting impact on our gardens in the future.

Mount Auburn Cemetery is celebrating its 175th Anniversary with a year of lectures, music, and other events at the Cemetery. This lecture, part of the “Facets of Mount Auburn: Celebrating 175 Years of a Boston Jewel” lecture series, is a fitting event for Mount Auburn, which has developed a national reputation for outstanding representations of different flowers, plants and trees.
