Wild and Wonderful Things Happening in Our Nursery - and Your Garden!
Greetings!
August can be a wonderful month in the garden with flowers blooming and vegetables coming to fruit. We love August around here because it is a month where we catch our breath. We freshen up our window boxes with annuals and plant a few more perennials as we harvest our tomatoes and cucumbers.
Tomorrow (Friday, August 6th) our own C.L. Fornari is hosting an in-person event here at our Nursery. We're calling this event "Take a Walk at HCG with C.L.". No registration is necessary - just show up here at 4pm with comfortable walking shoes and get ready to explore our 7 acres of beautiful plants, shrubs and trees. To learn more scroll on or click here.
While walking our nursery you might see this unusual tree - it's called a Columnar Maple. It grows very tall and narrow (hence 'Columnar'); at maturity it might be 50' tall and 15" wide. C.L. has written a really interesting blog this week on wild and wonderful things you'll find in your garden in August...be sure to check it out by scrolling down, or clicking here.
Don't forget to grab some fresh, native corn while you're here...perfect for any summer, backyard barbeque or clambake.
We are really excited about our next several in-person events...we'll get to "Take a Walk" at HCG with C.L. Fornari! Fridays 8/6 and 8/27: Join us 'rain or shine', from 4 PM to 5PM as we wander the nursery and garden center and discover tips and secrets from the Garden Lady herself! We'll be on our feet so dress appropriately and use your phone for photos and a pad of paper for taking notes. These walk-and-talk sessions will be both in person - and on FB Live!

Upcoming Virtual Events
We've got two Virtual Sunday Seminars scheduled in the coming months:
We were visited this week by Buster Brown, the official dog of our friends at Cape Cod Beer! Buster comes to visit us to pick up his Rawbble dog food, visit the koi, and enjoy a walk around our 7 acres. Buster is a 13 year old Field Spaniel. We sure do love to see you, Buster!

Shop Monrovia from home
Plant Selection Made Personal
Shop for your favorite plants online from Monrovia, and they will ship them to Hyannis Country Garden for you to pick up when they're in prime condition.
A Native Plants list is important for homeowners and landscapers. It gives them choices in plant material that are beneficial for the health of our coastal areas. The plants on this list are also beautiful and do well in our Cape Cod environment.
