As I was planning out the rest of our summer sales and specials, my mind naturally drifted toward July 4th. To honor America’s 250th anniversary, I knew exactly what to do: put our most patriotic-sounding hostas on sale.


As I was planning out the rest of our summer sales and specials, my mind naturally drifted toward July 4th. To honor America’s 250th anniversary, I knew exactly what to do: put our most patriotic-sounding hostas on sale.

This year I’ve had several customers message me with the exact same request. They were looking for fully grown, mature hostas. They didn’t want the small ones, the ones carefully nestled in their trade gallon pots, just beginning their journey.

If you love gardening, odds are you have a deep appreciation for other beautiful things, too. My own love for digging in the dirt came from my mother. She loved her gardens, but that wasn’t the only canvas she made beautiful. She could have easily rivaled the best interior decorators; every space she touched looked better by the time she was done with it.
