Hosta

Another wonderful plantfair at Yarlington House in Somerset. Lovely day, met plenty of wonderful people and had a good time.

A quick look at one of our small enclosures with a mixture of different Hostas, Great and Small.

This last weekend we attended the Gillingham and Shaftesbury Agricultural Society Spring Show. It was very windy, so we couldn’t put out all our Hostas and had to hide behind our sign for much of the Saturday. Sunday was less windy and we managed to put more of our Hostas out and met lots of lovely people.

Well yesterday was our first Plant Fair, at the lovely Mapperton House, near Beaminster Dorset. We had a great time, and enjoyed meeting and talking to lots of lovely new people and existing customers. Thank you everyone for making it a lovely experience.
We will be at the following shows through the year:
Shaftesbury&Gillingham – 23rd, 24th April
Yarlington – 7th May
Mid Devon – 23rd July
Mid Somerset – 21st August
Taunton Flower Show – 5th & 6th August.
Hope to meet lots of lovely new people.

Thought I’d show some of the bright and cheerful hostas. They certainly brighten the place up at the moment.

Look at the difference between initially potting up these Hosta Teeny Weeny Bikinis and 3 days later after they have settled down.

Just finished potting up 500 Hostas and managed to fill up the walk in enclosure. A big relief and satisfaction.

Lakeside Dragonfly has appeared to cheer us up!

New Hostas arriving about 200 of them.
