The Connie Hansen Garden - Botanical Gardens, Lincoln City, United States
"Connie" (Constance P. Hansen) was a well-loved and respected member of the national and regional horticultural community. She hybridized irises and maintained an exchange of seeds and starts with other plant enthusiasts. She belonged to numerous plant societies and supported local garden clubs. In 1973, Connie moved to Lincoln City, Oregon, and spent her last two decades sculpting the garden on 33rd Street. In all kinds of weather, from early morning until last light, Connie could be found working in the Garden. As a botanist trained at the University of California at Berkeley, Connie knew plants intimately. As an artist, Connie created a delightful arrangement of colors and textures.
Her Garden has been visited by thousands of people from all over the world, many of whom make their pilgrimage every year and remember with fondness their connections with the woman who developed it. The Garden has been featured in the Fine Gardening Magazine, Sunset, Better Homes and Garden Quarterly, and other publications. The Conservancy’s mission is to restore, preserve, maintain and continue the development of the Garden, to promote gardening interest, and become the focus of gardening in the area. The Garden itself is an urban coastal garden and is utilized for the education and enjoyment of the public.
