Garden Journal

Ah, hydrangeas. If flowers had a popularity contest, these beauties would definitely win the crown. With their big, fluffy blooms in dreamy shades of pink, blue, purple, and white, hydrangeas bring instant charm to any garden. They’re basically the fairy godmother of plants—wave your gardening wand (okay, it’s a trowel), and poof! Your yard looks magical.

As Kat is the first to say, “Summer is not the time to be planting outdoor plants!” – especially not here in Tauranga. That is why our nursery closes each year from the end of December through to the end of February.
