Hydrangea ‘Sensation’

Once again, Maurice is going to lead a tour through the garden to look at our Hydrangea collection.  Joy Creek Nursery houses a large collection of hydrangeas, not only the showy mop-head and lacecap types that are familiar to the public but also less common species, climbing forms and close hydrangea relatives. Many of these shrubs are more than 20 years old in the garden and will be at their best in July. This tour is designed to acquaint gardeners with the large variety of hydrangeas that are available and to teach good cultural practices.

Free and open to the public.

Dress appropriately for the weather.

There is a $10.00 class fee for ‘CEH’ Certification.

Flying Jewels: Keeping Hummingbirds Happy in Your Garden

A workshop with Ramona Wulzen
Sunday, April 13, 2014 1:00 PM

Hummingbirds are some of the most engaging visitors to our gardens, delighting us with their beauty and behavior. If we provide them with a garden environment that meets their needs, they will return year after year to entertain, pollinate and contribute to the control of some pesky insects. Some will even spend the winter with us if given the right conditions. Join us to learn which plants and combinations will keep them in your gardens. Free and open to the public. Dress appropriately for the weather.
