The Best Hebes for Your Yard

Hebes are evergreen New Zealand shrubs that come in a wide range of sizes, textures, colors, and forms. With so many options also comes the downfall that certain types can be harder to grow than others. We will look at what varieties of hebes thrive in different situations and how to best grow the ones you want. There is a Hebe out there for everyone and every yard. There is a $10 cost for this class. Please pay the day of the class in our retail area (the barn).

Andy Stockton, a former Joy Creek employee, has been compulsively growing hebes for the last twelve years. It was love at first sight and all the 14 degree nights with blustery east winds and extended September droughts with 100 degree days might have taken its toll, but it has not dimmed his fascination. He is a member of the International Hebe Society and has been fortunate enough to work in nurseries for the majority of his adult life.
