Windcliff Plants

We are scheduling appointments to shop for plants at Windcliff in Indianola, WA. You may browse our plant list and make a wishlist prior to visiting. (Note: we do NOT ship plants) A limited selection of Windcliff Plants are available at Ravenna Gardens, Seattle, Bay Hay and Feed, Bainbridge Island, Heronswood Garden, Kingston, and Crazy Hill Botanicals, Belfair. If you’re shopping at one of these locations and don’t see what you’re looking for please contact us directly.

Private tours of Windcliff (benefiting Heronswood)

Dan will lead your group on a one-hour tour through Windcliff garden, then you’ll have an additional hour to wander and shop for plants on your own. A limited number of times are available (Tuesday-Thursday).

Email Robert Jones at windcliff2@centurytel.net to check the schedule and book your private tour. Cost minimum $200, $20/person for groups up to 15. All funds go directly to Heronswood.

Heronswood

Heronswood is thriving. They offer a limited selection of Windcliff Plants and other plants for sale. The Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe purchased Heronswood in 2012 and it is now under the umbrella of their Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Dan is the Director Emeritus. Visit the Heronswood website to check hours and upcoming events.
