July 13th Meeting and Lecture: Hostas!

Hosta collector and Lifetime Master Gardener Mary Arnberg will give a talk titled Hostas: The Practically Perfect Perennial. Arnberg will both educate and entertain with up-to-date information on hosta favorites, new and old, as well as tips on how to grow them well, and use them to advantage in your garden.

Arnberg’s own garden includes a collection of over 500 hostas. She has served as co-president of the New England Hosta Society and is a Senior Hosta Judge, as well as a Garden Performance Judge for the American Hosta Society. She will illustrate her talk with hostas from Cochato Nursery in Holbrook, MA, which specializes in shade plants and wildflowers. These plants will be for sale after the program.
