We are Cape Cod's Hydrangea Headquarters... |
|
Believe it or not, you can tell a lot about hydrangea plant care by its name. Hydrangea is from Greek descent: "Hydro" means water and "Angos" means jar or vessel. This explains hydrangeas' need for lots of water to thrive. As we continue on into the heat of our Cape Cod summer, it is best if you remember that your hydrangeas need regular watering. You can check out CL Foranri's blog this week on summer watering for tips for all areas of your garden. And here is a link to an older blog post from CL regarding Hydrangea Pleasures and Problems for watering tips specific to Hydrangeas.

Behind the Scenes...
HCG Goes to the Barnstable County Fair
|
|
Hyannis Country Garden has participated in the Barnstable County Fair for decades; as a locally owned business we feel it is important to be active in our community. We've won countless blue awards for our landscape displays and those ribbons hang proudly in the "Hall of Fame" in our office area.
ï»żHCG Family member and owner Diana Duffley has been hard at work, setting up our display garden at the fair for this season. Chris Stokes, our Sales Floor Manager and the rest of our Aquatics team will be helping to set up the water feature there later this week. The fair runs from 7/18-7/24. Please stop by and check out our garden, It is a welcome respite from the lights and action on the Mid-Way. Look for the Barnstable County Extension garden signs - our garden is located just to the right.
