Endless Summer Hydrangeas celebrates 20 years with community plantings

In honor of the 20-year anniversary of Endless Summer Hydrangeas, brand partners from across the country celebrated by giving back to the communities in which they live and work to plant the hydrangeas in new displays or added to existing gardens.

“The brand tagline of ‘Experience Life in Full Bloom’ is not just words on paper,” said Layci Gragnani, brand and business development manager at Bailey Nurseries, brand owner of Endless Summer Hydrangeas. “We live out that mantra by providing colorful blooms for life's special moments. Celebrating this anniversary with community plantings lets everyone Experience Life in Full Bloom, garden or not.”

From Oregon to Georgia, more than a dozen sites were planted by volunteers from Acorn Farms, Bailey Nurseries, Baucom’s Nursery, Clinton Nurseries, Cottage Gardens, Home Nursery, Midwest Groundcovers and 3 Rivers Nursery. Hydrangeas were installed at schools, community centers and more.

Endless Summer Hydrangeas also gave a $2,500 donation to the standout project that best embodied the #LifeInFullBloom spirit.

Home Nursery’s installation at Cisne High School in Cisne, Illinois, was selected for the dedication of their 27 volunteers and commitment to the #LifeInFullBloom theme.

Home Nursery provided Endless Summer Pop Star Hydrangea and other low-maintenance plant pairings to create a multi-season landscape in partnership with the school’s agriculture teacher and FFA adviser. The blue blooms of Pop Star were paired with orange flowers and foliage to celebrate the high school’s colors and were planted in time for graduation.

“My first introduction to horticulture was in one of Mrs. Timm’s classes during my high school years,” said Home Nursery’s Sales Manager Hilliary Metzger. “Celebrating the 20th year of Endless Summer Hydrangeas by completing a new landscape planting at the high school prior to graduation only made sense. Not only was the horticulture class able to complete a hands-on project to enhance the school’s entrance, but also learn more about the what the horticulture industry has to offer through a presentation and a visit to Home Nursery. Maybe one of the students will be the next person to pursue the horticulture profession.”

“We are so grateful to all our partners across the country who helped us celebrate 20 years of Endless Summer Hydrangeas in such a generous way,” Gragnani said. “They really illustrate the passion and excitement that surrounds this brand and embodies our joint commitment to our communities by choosing to honor the milestone anniversary by giving back.”
