Mark Your Calendars! February 12, 2022 -- ONLINE ZOOM MEETING!!!! General Meeting - see meeting page for Zoom info. While we know that the current COVID-19 surge is expected to peak soon, we cannot be certain that this current variant will have subsided enough to make meeting in person practical. As such, your board has made the decision to hold the February general meeting via Zoom. While less than ideal, we felt that this was the most prudent action to take at this time. The presentation will be "Hostas 101" and will highlight many different hosta that are grown by GHS members. This is your chance to see what works well, and what works not-so-well in our North Georgia gardens. We are currently planning on an in-person meeting for April and will determine whether we are able to hold our Show and Leaf Sale this year. That decision will be made by mid-March.

Showtime 2022??? The Georgia Hosta Society’s 31th Annual Hosta Show is in the final stages of planning for 2022. At this time, we are working to secure the venue and vendors. By middle of March, we will assess the state of the COVID-19 spread in Georgia. If things look safe enough for an event of this size, we will hold the show on Saturday, May 14th. Here are pictures from the 2019 Cut Leaf Show so you can share our last show's experience.
Note to GHS Members: A full color photo essay on the 2019 show will be in the Septemberwas in the August, 2019 issue of Georgia Hosta Notes. |
