Are You Partial to Hostas? So Are We!

We're the Georgia Hosta Society. Welcome! The Georgia Hosta Society brings together hosta enthusiasts, ranging from beginners to veterans; patio gardeners to those with an acre or more of wooded landscape; amateur hybridizers to professional growers. We hope you'll consider joining us in the rewarding and delightful work of selecting and nurturing these fascinating and beautiful plants in our local environment.

Next Major Event will be the Dixie Regional

The dates are September 12-13.
On Friday there will be gardens and nurseries on your own as you come into town.
We have reserved space at the Hyatt Place Johns Creek for hospitality Friday night and the meeting on Saturday.
The schedule Saturday will include 3 lectures in the morning, Mark Zilis, Ashlyn Mundy, a hosta collector from the Charlotte area, and me. We will provide lunch and then after lunch have another speaker and our auction and Annual Meeting.
The Saturday meeting will be over by 5:00 so attendees can return home if they wish. The hotel rate is $119.00.
Hospitality on Friday will be in two of the hotel rooms from 7-10 PM. We can bring food and drinks into the hotel.
The link for registration will be available by late summer.

"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.

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.
