New Meeting Location:
St. Luke’s Methodist Church

We all know hostas are classic shade garden favorites, but a truly beautiful shade garden design includes much more. A variety of shade-loving perennials and annuals can add color, texture, and seasonal interest beyond traditional hosta plantings. John will discuss some of the great companions for all our beautiful hosta. The handout from the presentation.

Welcome to the Indianapolis Hosta Society website!
Our members are garden enthusiasts who share a love of the genus Hosta. We gather regularly to learn about gardening in both shade and sun, and with all types of plants. We work together on club and community projects, and share our gardening experiences with each other and the public.
Yearly activities of the society include presentations by local, regional, and national speakers on a variety of garden-related topics; garden tours – both local and regional; and many other fun-filled social events.
