AHS October 2022 Meeting

AHS October 2022 Meeting

Monday, October 24, 2022 at the Atlanta History Center’s Woodruff Auditorium in McElreath Hall, 7 PM

Our speaker will be garden writer and lecturer, Pam Beck, whose topic will be Mixed Border Design with Hydrangeas, AKA "Plays Well with Others" – A mixed border of your favorite hydrangeas intermingled with deciduous and evergreen trees, ornamental grasses, shrubs, vines, perennials, and decorative touches has distinct advantages over a simple herbaceous planting bed. Because of their beauty and drama, hydrangeas can absolutely stand alone, but by mixing it up a bit you will add year-round interest introducing height, texture, and colors that can enhance your garden through all four seasons. This lecture will be filled with ideas that you will want to take home to embellish your own landscape's mixed borders.
