Tour a Georgia Garden Where Hydrangeas and Vintage Collectibles Rule

Douglasville, Georgia resident Susanne Hudson is the co-founder of the annual Penny McHenry Hydrangea Festival each June which celebrates this lovely Southern flowering plant. Hudson's own yard is a monument to the versatility of hydrangeas of every variety. Enormous terra-cotta pots are a dramatic way of displaying mature hydrangeas on Hudson's lawn.

A dramatic, beckoning feature in her Douglasville, Georgia garden, Susanne Hudson's greenhouse is a place to display her collections, but also to unwind and spend time.

Susanne Hudson relaxes in her lovely metal greenhouse in her Georgia backyard, home to various collections and a great place to read or spend time.

Illustrating her epic creativity and ready supply of vintage items — often donated by friends — Susanne has used rusty tools to create an arbor and an installation on a concrete pillar in her DIY garden design.
