May 2016 Newsletter
Note from the President- The plants from the EMHS Annual Plant Sale
will be delivered at the May 12th meeting. If you ordered plants please plan on picking
them up at the meeting. If you are not
going to be able to pick up plants you ordered, be sure to call Glen and make
arrangements for somebody else to pick up your plants for you. The
plants are bare rooted and you will need to get them potted or planted
ASAP. I will have the orders bagged with
names on them to facilitate quick retrieval of the orders.
Spring is finally here…..maybe? Even as of last week I had frost on two
separate mornings. No plants were killed
by the frost, but some leaves were affected.
The forecast does not show any freezing temps in the near future so
maybe we can go ahead and start planting this year’s new plants.
See you at the May 12th meeting,
Glen Pace

April 2016 Newsletter
Note from the President- This year at Hosta College I took a couple
classes, taught a couple classes, and sold plants in the vending area for Soule’s
Garden. Then, after Hosta College closed
we had a blast sitting and talking in the Hotel Conference Room. Anybody
that has not gone to one of these after-college get-togethers is really missing
out. You learn a lot, meet new friends,
visit with your old acquaintances, eat and drink. Then you get to go to bed for a few hours and
get back up to go back to Hosta College.
We had a great time and hope to see you at Hosta College next year.
I have
already turned in the order for this year’s EMHS Annual Plant Sale, but if you
missed out on ordering I will accept your order via an email to me at PaceGardens@charter.net or at the
April 14th meeting. The
plants will be delivered at the May 12th meeting. If you still need to pay for your order
please make out a check to EMHS and give or send it to Barb Hunter, EMHS
Treasurer.
Our
speaker for the April 14th meeting is Julia Hofley. Julia is a freelance writer for gardening
magazines, a speaker for gardening audiences, a member of multiple gardening
societies, and a plant collector. For our
meeting Julia will present Building a Collector’s Garden.
We will
have our usual potluck at the meeting.
As always the club will provide the flatware, plates, and napkins.
Come prepared
to have a great time, see a great presentation, and have some friendly
conversation.
See you at the April 14th meeting,
Glen Pace

Hall, 1900 N. Saginaw, Lapeer, MI 48446.
This is our regular meeting place located just south of the point of
M-24 and N. Saginaw, (the driveway just north of the Cemetery).
The speaker will be Julia
Hofley. Julia’s presentation is Building a Collector’s Garden. This is Julia’s description of the
presentation.
We didn’t start out to be collectors but as we began to garden together, we found which plants actually won our hearts and square footage in the garden beds and borders. Take a look at our many collections of conifers, Lilium, Chrysanthemums, groundcovers, ferns, fragrant plants and more. Learn why we fell in love with these plants and how they create waves of color and interest throughout the seasons.

February 2016 Newsletter
Note from the President- The EMHS 2016 year has already begun. I have already filed our 2016 tax forms with
the IRS, the speaker for our February 11th meeting has been
confirmed, the EMHS Annual Plant Sale list is being worked on, and now I am
writing the first Newsletter of 2016. Those
that ordered the Hosta Finder at the December meeting can tentatively expect
the book to be here by the February meeting.
EMHS is off to a good start, but it is obvious that our growing season
is still a few months away.
This is a perfect time of year to look at the plant catalogs
and decide what new additions to purchase for the gardens this year. For Hosta catalogs you can go to the Hosta
Library and click on the “links” section for a list of Hosta growers as well as
some growers listed at the top of the Hosta Library page. The URL for the AHS Hosta Library page is; http://www.hostalibrary.org/ This site is also a good place to go to find
out information on Hosta you may already have growing or some you may be
looking for as long as they are not new introductions as those will most likely
not be entered into the data base.
Another way to find new Hosta to purchase is to attend Hosta
College in Piqua, OH on March 18 & 19, 2016. There is always a room full of vendors
offering the latest and greatest in the Hosta world and in other areas of
gardening. The Hosta College website has
been updated with this year’s class offerings, the gift plant for registered
participants, and the Schedule. Please
check out the possibilities at the 2016 Hosta College by going to; http://www.ihostohio.com/portal/glhc/
The EMHS meeting is a great way to help make it through one
of the cold February evenings. Our next
meeting is on February 11th, 2016.
Our speaker that night is Don LaFond from Pinckney, MI. Don is a member of the North American Rock
Garden Society (NARGS) and will be speaking to us about his style of
gardening, what makes it different from
what most of us do in our gardens, and why he has chosen this style as his
specialty.
Remember that our meetings also include a potluck so start
thinking about what favorite dish you can bring to this meeting. As always the club will furnish the plates,
cups, flatware, and coffee. To be
different and expose you to something different I will be making Kugel from my
adopted Aunt’s recipe. You are in for a
treat if you have never had Kugel.
I look forward to kicking off another year of fun with EMHS
and hope all of you are as excited. The
purpose of EMHS is, “to promote
the interest of hostas and shade gardening; to extend horticultural education
and activities to its members and the community.” Let’s all look forward to a year of enjoying
our common interest, Hosta and shade gardening.
See you at the February 11th meeting,

Next Meeting- February 11, 2016 at the Mayfield

This is our regular meeting place located just south of the point of
M-24 and N. Saginaw, (the driveway just north of the Cemetery).
The speaker
will be Don LaFond of the North American Rock Garden Society from Pinckney,
MI. The topic for Don’s presentation
will be Rock Gardening in Full Sun. This presentation will feature plants that
many members may have never seen before.
This is a presentation you will not want to miss if you have interest in
plants that will grow in full sun, require minimal to no fertilization, and are
unusual when compared to the Hosta that most of us grow.
The doors
will open at 5:00 PM for Networking, Potluck Dinner at 6:00 PM, Presentation at
7:00 PM, Break at 8:00 PM, and Business Meeting at 8:15 PM.

Consider Hosting an EMHS Meeting- above you see the EMHS 2016 calendar
of events with a number of openings for meeting places. We ask that you consider hosting a summer
garden meeting at your garden. Sharing
our gardens is a way for all of us to learn; we get ideas for new plantings,
insect control, garden art, and learn how other gardeners express themselves
through their gardens. We all have
something to share, please share your knowledge with the rest of us.
2016 Hosta Finder- The members that ordered (and paid
for) the 2016 Hosta Finder book at the December meeting can expect to pick up
their book at the February 11th meeting. The books have been ordered, paid for, and
per Steven Greene we should have them in our possession for the February
meeting.
For others
that may be interested, you can order the Hosta Finder for $22.00 each, 2-9
copies at $17.50 each, and 10 copies at 14.50 each. We will bring this topic up at the February meeting
again and the club will do another group order if we can get at least 10
orders.
Hosta College- Each year during March, the
Great Lakes Region (GLR) of the American Hosta Society hosts a gathering of
approximately 360 enthusiastic gardeners from the Midwest and other parts of
the US, Canada, and even Europe. This gathering is called Hosta College, and it
takes place at Upper Valley Career Center in Piqua, Ohio.
Hosta
College begins on Friday night with several different activities from which
participants can choose. The vending area offers a large selection of plants
(even though it may be snowing outside!), garden accessories, tools, and other
garden-related merchandise for shoppers. The Bookstore features gardening books
at fantastic discounts, stationery, society clothing items, and other Hosta
College souvenirs. The auditorium and other areas provide slide presentations,
talks by gardening experts, and opportunities to socialize with new and old
friends from Hosta College. An auction of rare and unusual plants will be held
on Friday evening. On Saturday, following a brief period for shopping in the
Vending or Bookstore, classes begin at 8:30 a.m. Students attend 5 classes they
have chosen from a program of over 70 classes taught by a faculty of
approximately 50 volunteers. Mid-day each student has lunch from a delicious
buffet included in the registration fee.
This year
the dates are March 18 and 19. The Hosta
College website has been updated with the 2016 class listings and class
descriptions which can be viewed at; http://www.ihostohio.com/portal/glhc/
From EMHS, Mark
Hanner will be teaching a class on Japanese Gardens- Elements of Design and
Glen Pace will be teaching a class on Trillium- More Than Just the White One. Please consider joining us at Hosta College
for a weekend of learning, vending, and fun.
