Gardener to Gardener – July 8, 2022

Implementing Inspiring Ideas
This Gardener to Gardener event will focus on how to adapt ideas you see in other gardens in order to use them in your own garden.
When April Walton visited Dutch garden designer Piet Oudolf’s garden, she was inspired. She took the concepts she admired and created a separate planting bed to try them in her own garden.
Oudolf uses plant compositions with bold drifts of herbaceous perennials and grasses which are chosen at least as much for their structure as for their flowers. He has designed the High Line in Manhattan, the Lurie Garden in Chicago and many gardens in Europe and the UK.
Open garden after April’s talk.  
Friday July 8, 10am to 12 noon at 2140 East Streetsboro St.  
All are welcome. Please RSVP to Sue at slhommedieu@gmail.com

For over 80 years, the Hudson Garden Club in Hudson, Ohio, has been active in beautifying our community and instilling a love of gardening. We have over 200 members, men and women of all ages, from beginners to quite experienced gardeners, who are eager to learn more about gardening and to share what they know. Our club is dedicated to spreading the knowledge and love of gardening, the beautification of public property and the support of education in horticultural and related fields.

Garden Club Activities

  • The Hudson Garden Club meets one Thursday evening monthly from September through May, at a variety of locations in Hudson. The social gathering starts at 6:30 p.m. and the program begins at 7:00 p.m. Meetings are free and visitors are always welcome! Because our meeting locations vary, be sure to check the newsletter, website or Facebook for this month’s location.
  • The highlights of our year are two special events, the Home and Garden Tour and the Garden Gathering. The Home and Garden Tour is held annually in June. The two-day event brings over 1,200 visitors to Hudson. The Tour owes its success to the tremendous support of more than 500 volunteers from the community.

  • Proceeds from the these two events are used to fund the planting, care, and replacement of trees and public plantings throughout Hudson; for the Genevieve Jyurovat Scholarship, offered to students pursuing an education in horticulture or environmental preservation; and for worthwhile grant projects that benefit the community and further the mission of the club.
