Spruce Reach Island: The Oregon Coast s Secret Rhododendron Garden

摘要

The Development of Spruce Reach Island Garden As and when business permitted, O. Howard Hinsdale much preferred to involve himself in outdoor pursuits. He was an avid hunter and travelled to Central Oregon to hunt for birds, he was a keen fisherman and regularly fished for salmon at the mouth of the Umpqua and for steelhead on the Rogue, but most of all he was a passionate gardener. Nancy Lee, a resident of Reedsport, noted that the Hinsdale family travelled all over the world collecting plants for their garden (10).
