Connie Hansen Garden Conservancy — Attraction in Lincoln City

This was an amazing garden. That's right. At the beginning of Lincoln City, I visibly considered well over two dozen times over the past 30 years and I've never visited this place. My wife and I were happily surprised that we found this location and we visited ourselves. It's a nice place to take a nice walk. It's not super difficult. We were pushing our 10-month-old in a stroller and we found no areas that were too difficult to necessarily climb or hike. There is a number of vegetation growths in the the whole premises of the garden and lots of things are labeled. They even have plants and sprouts and starters that you can purchase. There's a small gift shop here, but it was closed. When we visited the hours. It says that they're open is from 9:00 a.m. To 2:00 p.m. everyday we just happened to go right after 2. I would definitely recommend this to be a must-stop place in Lincoln City, especially for those who don't care about the beach or who are looking for something different after having come here many many times. We will definitely be revisiting this location over the next few years and I hope that this remains...

I know what a rose is, but beyond that my horticulture knowledge is very limited. Nonetheless, I would recommend spending some time wandering the Connie Hansen gardens, if for no other reason than it’s peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. I went with two friends who really love gardening, and they had a great time, awing over the color or foliage of some plants, being amazed at the size of some others. I did a lot of smiling and nodding while they chatted about all the plants, but it was great to see them enjoying themselves. They can’t wait to come back in the spring. This isn’t a huge, sprawling garden, so it’s unlikely you’ll get lost. The trails are clearly marked, and covered in either tiny gravel, or stone bricks. The walking is easy, no steep inclines, plenty of shaded areas, and a few benches here and there. Some parts of the trails are marked off due to testing or restoration purposes. The gardens are open from dawn to dusk, and there is no charge. That’s right. It’s free, so no excuse not to go...

Beautiful little space, with peaceful walking paths. Right smack in the middle of a residential neighborhood, which was really cool too. Free admission, but if you visit, there is a donation jar near the little shop and I'm sure they'd be thankful for any contributions.

We were there a few weeks ago and the volunteer in the shop was very informative about the history of the property, the plants and the plans for the future. If you're interested in knowing more about the conservancy I'd recommend speaking with the volunteer.

They have many small gifts and trinkets, as well as plants for sale.

This was a nice little break from the hustle and bustle of the more...
