Wow.... very interesting.
We were just in Portland for 10 days and flirted with the notion of takin=g a trip up to Heronswood, but the logistics were just not possible.
I'm tickled that Heronswood is coming to us!

HERONSWOOD TO MOVE OPERATIONS EAST
Seattle, WA - May 30, 2006 -- Heronswood Nursery, in Kingston, WA, today
announced that it is moving its operations to Pennsylvania to better
serve a national clientele of home gardeners.
According to George Ball, president of W. Atlee Burpee & Co., the
Pennsylvania based home gardening company that purchased Heronswood six
years ago, "As the business of Heronswood expanded outside the
Northwest, we found it inefficient to fulfill orders nationally and
continue to conduct operations in the State of Washington."
The move, which is expected to take place over the next three months,
will enable Heronswood to expand its product line to include varieties
better suited to flourish under varied weather conditions. "We shall
benefit from a major expansion and more appropriate climate location on
the East Coast," Mr. Ball states. "The plants we've collected from
around the world will be tested under conditions more similar to those
of our customers."
Burpee operates a 50-acre nursery in Willow Hill, PA, and a similar
sized test and display garden complex at Fordhook Farm in Doylestown,
PA.
Heronswood will retain a reduced staff of employees in Kingston, until
the move is completed to insure a smooth transition. All events
planned for the remainder of the 2006 Season at the nursery have been
cancelled.
The Heronswood Open at Fordhook Farm, July 14th & 15th, in
Doylestown, PA, will be held as planned, according to Mr. Ball, and the
move will in no way affect the Heronswood catalog or website which was
completely revamped and upgraded for the 2007 season.
