Short description

The secret of Hydrangeas

The idea took shape from my very first encounter with the amazing children’s author Maud Poupa. The idea! To reveal the history and origin of hydrangea color by speaking directly to children, the gardeners of tomorrow.

Indeed, the story of our two heroines will help unravel the mysteries linked to hydrangea color after multiple experiments. The various illustrations by our friend Lawrence Rasson will immerse you in certain locations of our nursery where you will meet nurseryman Hubert Potiron and his two English Greyhounds.
