Eastern Michigan Hosta Society
July 2022 Newsletter
Note from the President-
A big thank-you goes out to Teresa Dillon and Mike Scherbovich for opening
their gardens on June 9th and hosting our first garden tour of
2022. I also want to thank Angela
Nelson of East Michigan Native Nursery for opening her nursery to us so we
could buy plants from her.
Teresa’s garden was spectacular with a large variety of plantings. The Hosta and companion plants were beautiful and the mini Hosta bed had some of the best grown minis I had ever seen. Too bad the Martagons weren’t blooming yet. Once her Daylilies start blooming her yard will be filled with flowers.
I fully intend to go back to Mike Scherbovich’s garden in mid-summer to take pictures of a blooming butterfly garden and share them on the EMHS blog. Visiting his gardens in June one cannot see the impact of this type of gardening, but once you see it all in flower and the number of butterflies it attracts it will amaze you.
The July 14th tour will be in Clio and Flushing at the homes of Karen and Larry Erickson, Janis and Dennis Pardeik, and Dawn and Gary Kendall. All three of these gardens will be filled with Daylilies and should be in peak bloom at the time of our tour. Karen and Janis are avid Daylily hybridizers so you will most likely get to see flowers that have not even been registered with the Daylily Society. All three gardens will also have Hosta and interesting plants as well as some unique yard art.
At the Erickson’s please pull to the back yard and the parking area will be marked. At the Pardeik’s pull to the top of the driveway and walk back down to the gardens near the pond and the woodland garden on the south side of the driveway. At Dawn Kendall’s pull up the driveway to park.
Carpooling is always suggested for the summer tours. It saves on gas, parking space, and gives you friends with which to discuss what you have just seen at your last stop. It is also suggested that you eat while on the road driving to the tour sites and also stop to use the bathroom while driving as none of these sites have a public restroom.
Our
August 11th tour will be of Jim Slezinski’s gardens in Lake
Orion. Jim has tropical gardens that
will make you wonder how he can grow these plants in Michigan. He also has a pond with multiple waterfalls
and streams.
I look forward to seeing you at the Tour in Clio & Flushing on July 14th from 3:00 PM until 7:00 PM.
Sincerely,
Glen Pace
EMHS President
