Membership in AHS is encouraged and MTHS members can earn a paid 2019 AHS membership through a point system which recognizes participation in MTHS events. The Hosta Journal (AHS) published three times each year is abundant with hosta information and photographs of national tour gardens and the latest hosta hybrids.   

On-going projects of MTHS include:

  • interesting speakers at each meeting - click on the  'Programs and Events 2019 tab on left for meeting information.
  • staging a booth at the Nashville Lawn & Garden Show, at which time bare root hostas are sold;
  • an Annual Hosta Sale, (featuring over 200 varieties) held the Saturday before Mother’s Day in the parking lot of the Maryland Farms YMCA in Brentwood, TN.
  • the 2019 Dixie Regional Hosta Convention have been released.  
    The DelMarVA society is hosting.  They have booked a Hampton Inn at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware for May 3-5.  Afternoon lecture May 3rd, garden tours May 4th, and May 5th is still up in the air.  The hotel does offer free breakfast, so that can help offset some expenses with the trip.  DelMarVa is short for Delaware, Maryland,and Virginia.  Their website is delmarvahostasociety.org.
 
The Genus Hosta and the term “The Friendship Plant" have become synonymous.
