Monthly newsletters
Due to popular demand our newsletters are continuing into 2008, still
monthly as we have yet to dry up on content. Suggestions for subjects
to cover are always welcome so please do suggest something if you have
a burning hosta issue on your mind.
Some visitors do not have regular access to a website so you can elect
to subscribe to the newsletter and have it sent to your email address
directly on publication. Just email
us or click on the 'subscribe' link at the foot of the newsletter.

December 2007 | Hostas that change leaf colouring during the season |
** Since publication of the November 2007 newsletter the AHS has moved to change the use of the terms it uses for the smallest hostas. The AHS is now referring to the smallest hostas as miniatures and although it is too late for us to follow suit for 2008 we will also adopt the term in 2009 to avoid confusion.
