Deborah Hardwick grows thousands of clematis cultivars at her central Ohio garden, Hardwick Hall. She has become known for her expertise in tending these beloved plants, which she believes suffer a fussy reputation that hasn’t been helped by complicated advice. Through outreach to garden clubs, horticultural organizations, botanical gardens, nurseries and more, Deborah works to dispel the myths that surround clematis by highlighting the most rewarding and rugged cultivars and offering simplified strategies for their care.
You have arrived at the online home of the Miami Valley Hosta Society of Dayton, Ohio, and the surrounding region.
To the casual observer, it's possible to assume that our name and our slogan - Stimulating the Knowledge and Love of Hostas - say it all. But our members understand this is merely our "calling card" and that there is much more in store to delight active gardeners and those that appreciate their gardens.
Our website is designed to give you an introduction into our interests, our activities, and the enjoyment we share - whether on member garden tours, special overnight trips to notable garden spots away from home, or hearing authorities speak on topics to keep us informed and more adventurous in our own home gardens.
It would be our pleasure to welcome you as a new member of The Miami Valley Hosta Society.
