Our Hosta Display Garden

Thursday, June 28, 2018

A shutterbug friend stopped by today and suggested I get into the hosta garden for some picture taking for those who may not have been able to see the garden yet. Cameras never have bothered me although I admit that my 70 years are showing more than before. Here are various pictures. The whole garden is not covered but you can get an idea what it currently looks like. If you are out and about  this holiday, stop by and say hello. Bring your water bottle as it sounds like it will be hot.

A Garden of Change

 Tuesday, June 12, 2018

A cold morning here at the flower farm. 39.1° right now but rising to +70° by noontime. Everything seems to be growing despite the lack of water. The weather folks said June would be cooler and it is but the lack of rain is very obvious. Rain is predicted for tomorrow and I do hope that materializes.

Everyone who likes hostas and their companions cannot make it to our place so I am posting more pictures. I'm really busy so do not have time to add comments to each but take a look and forward questions if you have any. We are giving tours every day because the hosta are all large enough by now that the name tags are hidden. The great thing about the garden is you can see the actual mature size and plan for your own gardens.

A great resource if you love hostas is the Hosta Library. http://hostalibrary.org. The thousands of different hostas which are pictured have an accompanying database which provides great information on the plant, sports, sizes, etc. Take a look.

Best gardening wishes from your friends at Vermont Flower Farm and Gardens!

A Hosta Display Garden To Visit

Wednesday, June 6, 2018

It's a busy time at the flower farm. The weather has been up and down and today as example is a day to have a jacket and be prepared for showers. I want to point out  that our hosta display garden is in its prime right now and deserves a visit if you're in the area.

Over 500 hostas are displayed with a variety of accompanying shade related plants. Hostas from 2" tall to 7 feet tall are available in various stages of development. These pictures should give you an idea of why a visit will become something to remember. Come see us!
