"Something Native, Something New, Something Panicled, Something Blue...  a Foray into Hydrangeas with the Glee of a Plant Geek"

Please join us on Monday, October 27, 2025, as we venture with Hayes Jackson on a tour of his quest for new, interesting, and climate-durable Hydrangeas. 

This year’s Garden Tour will feature four beautiful hydrangea-filled gardens in North Atlanta inside the perimeter.

Happy spring! What a difference a few extra hours of sunlight make in our gardens and our outlooks! I find it very hard to stay to indoors this time of year. Luckily, I have plenty of work outside to keep me occupied. Laundry can wait.

Please join us on Monday, April 28th as we host Sam Hoadley, Manager of Horticultural Research at Mt. Cuba Center in Hockessin, Delaware.

Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season filled with visits to or from family and friends. It’s the season of rest for the garden and this year’s cold ensures conditions for full plant dormancy which means our plant’s energy can go into good root growth. 

Please join us for speaker Scott McMahan's lecture on “Plant Exploration with A Purpose”.

Hello hydrangea friends! I hope you had a pleasant summer full of travel with friends and family and are now refreshed and well ready to ease into my favorite season of them all — autumn.

Sadly, due to Hurricane Helene, our scheduled October speaker, Irene Palmer, had to postpone her talk. Fear not! Four of our wonderful AHS members have agreed to be on a panel to answer your hydrangea questions. Please email your questions to Jennifer Petritz by Wednesday, October 23rd, president@americanhydrangeasociety.org
