Sorry, no mockery intended! If I could get to Hampshire, I would be there! I love Hostas, even though they don't grow here very well.

Another hosta lover! Why are they hanging? How are they hanging?

A friend gave me the info and I've got our garden club to arrange a visit this afternoon. I believe they have over 2000 varieties, all planted at different levels.
I shall take my camera as I am dying to see how they have planted and arranged them.
I currently have a few in hanging baskets, but definately not 2000.
Apparently its cheaper to visit in the winter.......

Looking forward to the photos. If they are hanging at least the slugs won't munch them!

Ooooh! Didn't know they could be grown in baskets!!!! That opens up all sorts of possibilities! Obviously the smaller varieties are best in baskets - don't think 'Sum and Substance' would like it very much? :o))

Sum and Substance was in a pot. Along with 95% of all the others. Some of the pots they have are the very large ones with handles on, the sort you get large Bamboos or small trees in.
Check my latest blog guys, there are plenty of pics.
