Chris Condon and Bonnie Garrison, the husband-and-wife team behind Pollen in Atlanta, create arrangements that showcase the many virtues of this beloved garden staple

“I REMEMBER THE HUGE HYDRANGEA HEDGE WE HAD WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL, AND CUTTING ARMLOADS TO BRING INSIDE. TODAY THEY’RE STILL MY GO-TO FLOWER, BUT I’VE SINCE DISCOVERED SO MANY DIFFERENT VARIETIES. I LOVE THE SATURATED COLOR AND WEIGHT THEY BRING TO AN ARRANGEMENT.”

–BONNIE GARRISON
