Hydrangea Gardening and a Beautiful Centerpiece

Do you love hydrangeas in the summer? I sure do! Problem is, I can't grow them very well! One year I will have 3 blooms, another year I will have a bush full of gorgeous flowers.  I may have figured out the secret this year! 

I am wondering if the secret lies in the woody stalks that are left on the plant in the winter...

I've heard you should cut back the woody stalks in the Fall, and then I heard to do it in the Spring.

Truthfully, I'm no gardener but I'm really trying, last year we built a fence around the garden we had and planted vegetables for the first time. 

This year I'm trying something new...

I didn't cut back the hydrangea stalks at all, not in the Fall and not in the Spring. 

The bush looked terrible for a long time but now I have a very full bush filled with leaves and a ton of buds! 

Maybe NOT cutting back the woody stalks is not such a bad thing after all. 

It looks like it's going to be a good year! 

While I wait for the hydrangeas to bloom and look amazing...

I'm decorating my home with a basket filled with hydrangeas and assorted other flowers and stems from Nearly Natural. 

We all know how hard it is to keep cut hydrangeas, a faux centerpiece is perfect! 

This is the Hydrangea Centerpiece.  

Nearly Natural describes this centerpiece as "A literal cornucopia of nature’s beauty, this Hydrangea arrangement is sure to please every eye that gazes upon it. Sporting far too many details and colors to describe, this amazing mixture of flowers, blooms, buds, berries, leaves, and stems is encased in a white ceramic bowl, making it the perfect centerpiece for any occasion."

I wrote about the gorgeous white tulips I got from them last year and they couldn't be more beautiful! 

I am truly a faux flowers kind of girl. 

The flowers from Nearly Natural look amazing and who wouldn't love to receive a flower arrangement that doesn't die a few days later?! 

These flowers will look great all season and then pack them away for next summer and you'll have another season of gorgeous flowers. 

I want to thank Nearly Natural for providing me with the beautiful hydrangea centerpiece that will look beautiful on my table for the rest of the summer!
