AN EVENING WITH MAL CONDON,
"THE HYDRANGEA GUY"
Tuesday, July 22, 2025
6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Join the Master Gardener Association of Cape Cod for an Evening with Mal Condon, curator of Hydrangeas at Heritage Museums and Gardens and guru of all things Hydrangeas under the tent at the Osterville Village Library!
Beautiful, tough and occasionally demanding, Hydrangeas have become Cape Cod’s iconic plant, decorating the summer landscape.
Join Mal in discussing why this plant is like no other, how to keep every variety blooming and beautiful throughout the season. Ever the conservationist, Mal will discuss the challenge of channeling water to these thirsty plants in the dry months and keeping them beautiful for peak enjoyment.
A lifelong gardener, Mal has been collecting, propagating and growing hydrangeas for nearly 50 years. He and his wife Mary Kay owned and operated Hydrangea Farm Nursery on Nantucket Island. Early in 2014 they “retired” to Yarmouth Port. Mal joined Heritage in 2016 and as the “hydrangea whisperer” on the property, he’s especially devoted to the continuing expansion and evolution of the Hydrangea Display Garden and the North American Hydrangea Test Garden. He also loves to teach and regularly shares his wisdom through a variety of workshops at Heritage.
