Note from the President-
Unforeseen family issues changed our July meeting plans. Mark’s dad is doing much better now and plans
to return to his apartment soon. We
will try to plan the clay pinch-pot project with the Hanners for a future
date.
I also want to thank Barb Hunter for
offering to open her gardens on a last-minute basis for our July meeting. Barb’s gardens are beautiful plantings with
many unique sculptures. Barb also offers
many Hosta cultivars for sale as well as water plants, Koi, succulents, and
several other selections. If you didn’t
take time to look at the plants Barb was selling or you saw something you
wanted but didn’t buy it at the meeting, just give Barb a call and make an
appointment to go for a visit. In
addition, I want to thank all the members that donated items for the door prize
drawing and raffle drawings. These
donations are enjoyed by the winners and are a great way for our members to
enjoy the benefits of EMHS.
The Hosta world mourns the passing of one of our
members, Jan Everson. Jan's experience
with hostas runs deep, as she has developed a nice shade garden at their home
in Troy, has toured many gardens on national and state hosta society tours and
shared these tours with us in prior years, and has served in many different
roles in the Metro Detroit Hosta Society, the Michigan Hosta Society, and the
Great Lakes Hosta Society. Most
recently, Jan served as editor of the MHS newsletter, producing an
award-winning print and online publication.
Jan was the speaker for our February meeting this year presenting “The
Blooming Mojave Desert”. Please keep
Jan’s husband Bob and her sister Sarah in your thoughts as they go through this
difficult time.
Our August meeting will be at John
and Annette Gavit’s in Saginaw. If you
have never been to John and Annette’s you are in for a treat of something
different. The front yard is a
collection of well grown Hosta and companion plants and the back yard has the
most unique pathways you will ever see.
Please remember to bring your own
chair and bug spray to the summer meetings.
Also remember to bring your favorite dish to pass for the potluck.
I look forward to seeing you at John
and Annette’s in Saginaw on August 10th!
Sincerely,
Glen Pace
EMHS President
