Eastham Garden Tour and Workshops – Cape Cod Hydrangea Festival

For ten years, Eastham has hosted one of Cape Cod Hydrangea Festival’s most popular garden tours. Known for our knowledgeable homeowners and our DIY creativity, we are kicking things up this year by offering four workshops that will share our knowledge so that you will have skills and information to ramp up the creativity in your own gardens.

This year, we are affiliating with The Local Journalism Project. This organization has been bringing young journalists to the Outer Cape for six years. They offer summer and winter college Fellowships as well as one to three-year opportunities for young journalists. The LJP pays their salaries and provides subsidized housing while the award-winning editors at the Provincetown Independent act as their mentors.

As part of Hydrangea Festival 2026, you will get the chance to learn about container gardening or propagating hydrangeas. Or you can learn to take frameable flower photo or create a watercolor painting of a hydrangea blossom. Workshops are taught by experienced and well-known instructors. And each workshop will take place in one of our most popular gardens from past years.

Tickets are limited and must be purchased in advance.

The 2019 Eastham Garden Tour, a highlight of the annual Cape Cod Hydrangea Festival, showcased the efforts of dedicated gardeners. Also, in the June 2024 Cape Cod Life, Julie Craven Wagner wrote The Cape In Bloom.

The Provincetown Independent published a story about pollinator gardens, Places for Pollinators, by Kai Potter.
…whether designed especially for bees and butterflies or for body and soul, for marsh views, or to evoke the sea, were plants for pollinators.
