Notes

Our NWHS Vice President, Tami Gilles, has organized an in-person presentation on the topics of hosta hybridization, cross pollination, and tips for seed starting/care provided by Mike Giese, Hosta Stop hybridizing guru from Plover, WI. Mike won the Best Seedling or Sport award at last year’s combined National and Midwest Regional Hosta Society Convention. His NWHS presentation will occur Friday, July 31st from 3-4pm in the CESA 10 Confrence room at 725 West Park Avenue, Chippewa Falls, WI 54729.

Seating is limited to approximately 30 people and you must to RSVP to Tami Gilles (vicepresident@nwhosta.org).

Event attendees will learn how to selectively cross pollinate, collect, and dry specialty hosta seeds. Tami is also planning a future NWHS event in December where we will be sharing seeds and planting trays for 2027. More details on that event later.
