The Heritage plants from historic Hanley Farm are mostly perennials that have grown at the farm for many years and were originally planted by Martha Hanley, matriarch of the family who lived there from 1857 until her death in 1887, or by her daughter Alice who was born there in 1859 and ran the farm until her death in 1940. Martha’s granddaughters, Claire, Mary and Martha, were the third generation to live on the farm. It was Mary Hanley who left the farm to the Southern Oregon Historical Society in 1982.
