GARDENS

Summer is upon us , and gardens across the country are in full bloom . An all-time favorite for designers and garden lovers is the hydrangea . Hydrangeas used to be mostly shade shrubs in old gardens . But with new varieties , there is one for almost every garden setting . They are so versatile — pairing with boxwoods for a more formal look , or with ferns and hostas for a more cottage garden feel . Their palette can include white , blue , green , pink , purple , red , and burgundy . I myself have five different hydrangea varieties in my garden .
