On Tuesday, October 22nd, please join the American Hydrangea Society at the Fall Membership Meeting.

THE EVENT OF THE YEAR FOR GARDEN BLOGGERS
Brought to You by DesignSherpa, the Organizers of Design Bloggers Conference now entering its fourth successful year!

As the buds appear on our hydrangeas, it must be time for the Garden Tour! We were blessed with no late freeze this year so the flowers should be bursting forth soon. 'Endless Summer' has been popping out all over Atlanta, as has 'Annabelle'. I was late in dead heading faded flowers, and had to push through the new growth to cut out all of my dead branches, of which I had many.

SAVE THE DATE! Saturday, June 8th is the American Hydrangea Society's 19th Annual Garden Tour

Greetings from pollen-covered Atlanta! The buds are popping on hydrangeas all through the city and suburbs and gardeners everywhere are cleaning up their beds and getting ready for spring planting.

Thursday, April 18th brings a very special treat to the American Hydrangea Society. Robert Mallet, noted plantsman, author and Director of the Shamrock Collection, the largest collection of hydrangeas in the world, will be our speaker.

The February meeting will be Tuesday, February 26 at 7 pm. Our speaker will be hydrangea expert and grower, Elizabeth Dean. Elizabeth is co-owner of Wilkerson Mill Gardens, a family-run nursery just south of Atlanta and the author of many articles on the cultivation of hydrangea.

This spring there are some fabulous happenings for us in the Society.  Elizabeth Dean, co-owner of Wilkerson Mills, will be speaking to us on Feb. 26th.
