The garden was established by Colonel William Plum and his wife, Helen, who visited the lilac gardens of famous breeder Victor Lemoine (1823-1911), in Nancy, France. They returned with two cuttings (Mme. Casimir Perier, a double white, and Michel Buchner, a double light purple), which formed the basis of today's collection. [ 1 ]
Two years later in 1950 the gardens were once again open for the annual "Lilac Week". [3] Hulda eventually developed over 250 varieties.
