Hydrangeas: Ain’t no time for the summertime blues!

Hydrangeas:  Ain’t no time for the summertime blues

 

Bob Howard will present images and discuss what he is learning about hydrangeas. He will review a bit of the natural history, the history of plant exploration and the early breeding work in Europe. There will be pictures of visits to some prominent hydrangea gardens, including the Heritage Museum in Sandwich, MA, and the Shamrock Association in Normandy, France. The focus will be on summer and late summer bloom, fall foliage, and how to use hydrangeas in design in Nova Scotia.
