Horticulturist and author, Erica Glasener hosted “A Gardener’s Diary” on Home and Garden Television (HGTV) for fourteen years. In her role as host, she interviewed gardeners from all walks of life across the United States. As our featured speaker, Erica will discuss the following topics.

“Proven Plants: Southern Gardens” - highlighting combinations for both sun and shade including, of course, hydrangeas. In addition, copies of her new book by the same name will be available for purchase and signing.

“Inspiring Gardens” - based on Erica’s travels around the USA with “A Gardner’s Diary”. Points discussed will include what makes a good garden, the elements of design and plant choices.

In addition to our featured speaker, Jason Powell from Petals from the Past in Jemison will discuss “Companion Plants for Hydrangeas” . Jimmy Rocket, local gardening personality, will end our day highlighting new hydrangea introductions as well as the old reliables.

During Lunch time, free guided tours of Aldridge Gardens will be available. The hydrangeas in the gardens should be at their peak.
