The Connie Hansen Garden

The Connie Hansen Garden in Lincoln City is a hidden gem that offers visitors a peaceful retreat filled with natural beauty. Founded by horticulturist Connie Hansen in 1973, the garden has grown into a beloved destination that spans an acre of carefully tended plants and winding pathways. Visitors can stroll through a vibrant display of rhododendrons, azaleas, hydrangeas, Japanese maples, and countless perennials that bloom in changing waves throughout the seasons.

What makes this garden special is the way it feels both cultivated and wild at the same time. Meandering trails lead through shady corners, bright flowerbeds, and quiet benches where guests can pause to enjoy the sights and sounds of the space. Volunteers from the Connie Hansen Garden Conservancy continue Connie’s legacy by keeping the garden flourishing year-round and welcoming visitors to enjoy its ever-changing landscapes. It’s especially stunning in spring, when rhododendrons and azaleas burst into color, but every season offers something new.

The garden also serves as a hub for community events, plant sales, and educational programs, giving locals and visitors alike a chance to connect with gardening and the natural world. Admission is free, though donations are encouraged to help maintain this beautiful sanctuary. Whether you’re a plant enthusiast, a photographer, or simply someone looking for a quiet escape, the Connie Hansen Garden is a delightful place to slow down and soak in the beauty of Lincoln City.
