Connie and Jennifer in Lincoln City
Connie Hansen came to Lincoln City in 1973 and decided to develop the acree of land around her home on 33rd Street into a garden. She did a spectacular job of it, and since her death in 1993, it has been open to the public as the Connie Hansen Garden. You'll enjoy the azaleas, primroses, irises, geraniums, and more than 300 species of rare rhododendrons. Another highlight of Lincoln City is the Jennifer Sears glass art Studio, where you can blow your own glass float. Jennifer was a well known figure in the tourism industry who died much too young, and this is a way that she can be remembered.
