As part of the annual Cape Cod Hydrangea Festival, we celebrate the iconic plant that makes the Cape so stunning. Enjoy fabulous photo opportunities as you stroll through the gardens and be sure not to miss two featured gardens which together make up the most comprehensive collection of hydrangeas in North America. The Cape Cod Hydrangea Society Display Garden boasts a collection of over 155 exceptional cultivars, around 60% of which are legacy varieties no longer in cultivation anywhere else. The North American Hydrangea Test Garden showcases over 240 of the newest varieties of hydrangeas being vigorously tested and evaluated here. Featuring hydrangeas in combination with companion plants growing alongside them, this garden provides incredible garden design inspiration!

Special daily activities include:

10 am-5 pm – Self-Guided Walking Tour: Discover hydrangea highlights while learning about each of the six major species of this signature plant
11-11:30 am – 30-Minute Hydrangea Guided Tour: Guides share the story of hydrangeas at Heritage and highlight spectacular specimens during this walking tour of both the Display Garden and the Test Garden (tours meet at the Cape Cod Hydrangea Society Display Garden)
On Saturday, July 11 this tour will be American Sign Language (ASL) interpreted.
11:30 am-3 pm – Hydrangea Discovery Cart: Learn tips for identifying, selecting, and caring for all six types of commonly-grown hydrangeas
