MICHIGAN Hosta Society - May 2022
|
Hi everyone,
Spring has finally sprung and it wont
be long before our gardens begin to pop. We recently received
an initial dose of gardening thanks to another great virtual Hosta
College that should motivate us to begin cleaning up our gardens
and enjoying some warmer weather.
As a reminder, we want to let you know that on Saturday, May 21,
we will gather at Hosta Hillside, Hidden Lake Gardens, 6214 Monroe
Rd, Tipton, MI. beginning around 9 a.m. We will work on cleanup
and general maintenance until noon and then convene to the administration
building for a luncheon supplied by Michigan Hosta Society. After
we finish our lunch, Don Rawson has so graciously volunteered
to give us a lecture that is sure to help all of us in our own
gardens. Dons topic is "Back to Basics: Digging and
Splitting Hostas" and he says, I will cover my preferred
method for digging up large clumps of hostas for transplanting and
splitting, with minimal root damage and transplant shock. I think
that even longtime gardeners will find the presentation helpful.
We look forward to hearing what Don has to say with shovels ready
to give it a try!
Its been quite a while since many of you have gathered with
us. Please come visit with old friends and make new ones even
if you have physical limitations. We would really like to see
you there!
Michael Greanya
Chair, Hosta Hillside
