Hello to all from FLBuchholz in Midland Michigan

[FLBuchholz]

Hi all,

Allow me to introduce myself - I'm Fred from Midland in central Michigan. I am a 15+ year hosta fanatic, with about 85 varieties of hosta in my garden. I have a shady, 10 acre property, so have lots of room to expand my gardens. I'm sure that I'll be kept in check by the large deer herd in my neighborhood. A chemist by training and career, so I've been interested in the tissue culture aspect of hosta propagation. But I still propagate hostas "the old fashioned way" - by division. I became familiar with Hallson Gardens a few years ago after a "drive by viewing" during a trip from Midland to Adrian MI for a springtime conference that my wife was attending. After retiring from my chemistry career a little over a year ago, I'm am focusing more time on my garden.

Welcome!!! If you are familiar with Chris and Brian and their nursery, then you already know the best thing about this place! It's one of the friendliest places on the internet!!


PS - You won't be at 85 hostas for long!!! There are lots of enablers here!
