Dr Roger Lloyd from the renowned Highfield Farm Garden in Pontypool, Monmouthshire, will be talking to us on Monday about hydrangeas.
Hydrangeas fell out of fashion in the late 90s but are now right back in the mainstream. With the introduction of new species, we now have hydrangeas in a range of colours from white through green, pink, blue to the deepest purple and wine, flowering over six months and peaking at that difficult time of late summer into autumn. This talk covers how to grow, prune, propagate and colour manage hydrangeas and how to cut and dry the flowers. It introduces a personal selection of varieties from 12 species plus a few others and it includes where to see them at their best and where to buy them.

The talk will start at 7.30pm in Colwall Village Hall. However, do come along from 7pm to enjoy a hot drink and a chat as well as the plant stall and raffle.
We would be very grateful for any donated plants, cuttings, divisions and seedlings for the plant stall. And please bring along a bag for any plants you buy from the stall as we need to keep the floor of the village hall clean and free of compost.
