It was a perfect day and most of the hydrangeas were at peak bloom. We learned the history of the property and garden as well as much information about the many varieties of hydrangeas in the gardens. David told us of the discovery in Alabama of &#8220;Snowflake\u201d, &#8220;Harmony&#8221;, and &#8220;Gatsby&#8221; varieties of oakleaf hydrangeas. Aldridge Gardens has a great collection of mophead and lacecap hydrangeas in a variety of colors including blue, purple, pink, dark pink and white. Although they are known for hydrangeas, don&#8217;t miss the daylilies, Japanese maples, and many other plants in the garden.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-17471 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/aldridge-garden-tour\/3f19169d-d4bc-4a1d-8f58-fa419650f91f\/'><img width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" src=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2018\/06\/3F19169D-D4BC-4A1D-8F58-FA419650F91F.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2018\/06\/3F19169D-D4BC-4A1D-8F58-FA419650F91F.jpeg 1920w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2018\/06\/3F19169D-D4BC-4A1D-8F58-FA419650F91F-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2018\/06\/3F19169D-D4BC-4A1D-8F58-FA419650F91F-275x275.jpeg 275w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2018\/06\/3F19169D-D4BC-4A1D-8F58-FA419650F91F-350x350.jpeg 350w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2018\/06\/3F19169D-D4BC-4A1D-8F58-FA419650F91F-250x250.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/aldridge-garden-tour\/07e5a6d2-b854-4ccf-a545-2c3f1e841dc7\/'><img width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" src=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2018\/06\/07E5A6D2-B854-4CCF-A545-2C3F1E841DC7.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Collage of hydrangea bushes. purple and white\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2018\/06\/07E5A6D2-B854-4CCF-A545-2C3F1E841DC7.jpeg 1920w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2018\/06\/07E5A6D2-B854-4CCF-A545-2C3F1E841DC7-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2018\/06\/07E5A6D2-B854-4CCF-A545-2C3F1E841DC7-275x275.jpeg 275w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2018\/06\/07E5A6D2-B854-4CCF-A545-2C3F1E841DC7-350x350.jpeg 350w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2018\/06\/07E5A6D2-B854-4CCF-A545-2C3F1E841DC7-250x250.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/aldridge-garden-tour\/827739d9-4e3c-401d-8ded-bdfd0f4e4445\/'><img width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" src=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2018\/06\/827739D9-4E3C-401D-8DED-BDFD0F4E4445.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Collage of hydrangea bushes, pink white, lavendar blooms\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2018\/06\/827739D9-4E3C-401D-8DED-BDFD0F4E4445.jpeg 1920w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2018\/06\/827739D9-4E3C-401D-8DED-BDFD0F4E4445-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2018\/06\/827739D9-4E3C-401D-8DED-BDFD0F4E4445-275x275.jpeg 275w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2018\/06\/827739D9-4E3C-401D-8DED-BDFD0F4E4445-350x350.jpeg 350w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2018\/06\/827739D9-4E3C-401D-8DED-BDFD0F4E4445-250x250.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Doggett, Jefferson County Master Gardener and volunteer docent at Aldridge Gardens,\u00a0 led a walking tour of Aldridge Gardens in Hoover for a group of Chilton County MGs on June 4.
