TOPIC

How To Buy Hostas

Some people call us "Hostaholics", addicted to buying hostas. Bob shares his observations and tips for being a good hosta shopper, both online and in person. Both can be equally satisfying or dangerous. Pests, finding rare hostas, pricing, and best times to buy will be covered. It will be just good old hosta fun.

Plus, a look at some of Bob's newest creations...coming soon!

Bring your hosta questions...Bob has answers!!

LUNCH
