Open to the Public

Hostas are the #1 selling perennial in the United States today. If you only grow The Green One and The Green and White One you are missing out on the huge variety of colors, sizes and shapes of today’s hostas. This talk will help you identify some new plants that you will absolutely have to have, identify the best places to buy them and teach you how to make them look their best. Master Gardener, Stephen Shaw, will be presenting this talk. Mr. Shaw has been gardening for over 40 years beginning by watching both Thalassa Cruso and Jim Crockett on PBS as a youngster. He has collected many different kinds of plants over that time including Lilacs, Peonies, and Daylilies and, of course, Hosta. His one acre garden in Millbury, MA includes over 300 named varieties of Hosta, as well as a growing number of seedlings of his own creation.
