2025 Show & Sale: "The Sky's The Limit" was a great success.

Despite the rain, people came out to enter leaves in the show, buy plants and reconnect with other hosta lovers.

The Georgia Hosta Society is 40+ years old.

Tours ...

Opening garden gates for our members enriches and enhances the hosta-growing experience as much as anything else the Society does. Exploring a garden with like-minded folks can be inspiring, can reveal solutions to problems, and can help avoid gardening pitfalls.

We do not currently have any tours scheduled for 2025.
