I’m a fairly new gardener and expanded a lot of the garden this year by adding several new flower beds and creating a hydrangea hedge. My great niece came for a visit and wanted to pick some of the “bootiful colors” to take home to her mommy, so that’s what we did. We just wanted all around the yard picking things she liked then put it all in a jar. She loved giving it to her mom and already want to come over to pick more. That’s why I’m growing them.
