Happy Hydrangeas

2024-07-28T21:19:26-04:00

Hydrangeas (Hydrangea Macrophylla) are easy to grow, make excellent cut flowers, and dry easily for dried floral arrangements. They produce one of the largest bloom heads of any flowering shrub. Upon closer inspection, you will discover that the one large bloom consists of many tiny flowers.

A partially shaded location with moist soil is the ideal location. The shrub also needs to be planted near a water source because it will need to be watered frequently. […]

An emerging favorite in “hipster” markets and upscale cocktail bars, […]

Richard Brightwell and McKee-Besher Wildlife Management Area

2024-07-21T16:32:14-04:00

If you are planning your yearly pilgrimage to see the fabulous sunflowers at the 1,971-acre McKee-Beshers Wildlife Management Area, you may want to thank English immigrant, Richard Brightwell, who purchased the original 1,086 acres along four miles of the Potomac River in 1695. 

At the age of 21, Brightwell came to Maryland from Suffolk, England as an indentured servant to Captain Thomas Trueman. The first colonists came to Maryland only 29 years before.
