Friday, November 6, 10:30 am – 12:00 noon – Virtual Hydrangea Success Series: Winterizing Webinar

Hydrangea macrophylla plants are the least cold-hardy of hydrangea species and bud hardiness is especially sensitive to harsh Cape Cod winters. In this Heritage Museums and Gardens online webinar on Friday, November 6 from 10:30 – noon, Heritage Hydrangea Curator, Mal Condon, will discuss the best techniques he has developed for protecting hydrangeas from the ravages of winter and will provide information on the necessary materials and their sources. The live webinar will feature a detailed slide presentation, and a chance for questions and answers with Mal. All program webinar registrants will receive a PDF of the slide presentation, via email, after the presentation. Advance registration is required and registration for this program ends at 6 am on Thursday, November 5.

A lifelong gardener, Mal has been collecting, propagating, and growing hydrangeas for more than 40 years. He and his wife Mary Kay owned and operated Hydrangea Farm Nursery on Nantucket Island for many years. Early in 2014 they relocated to Yarmouth Port on Cape Cod and have been busy establishing a significant garden in their new location. Mal is known as “the hydrangea whisperer” at Heritage, and is committed to ongoing maintenance of all existing hydrangea plantings as well as to the continuing expansion of Heritage’s hydrangea gardens.
