If you’re a hydrangea lover who goes through hydrangea withdrawal during the winter, you should have this book on your coffee table.
I initially borrowed this from my library and renewed it as many times as I could. When I finally had to return it, I decided to just buy my own copy.
The photography is absolutely stunning. The information in the book is quite valuable to hydrangea aficionados. But if you don’t feel like reading, looking at the pictures will feed your hydrangea habit.
This is a book that I will definitely return to over and over again and I’m so excited that I will have my own copy.
