CIHS Columnist's Message from the Current Newsletter - March 2026

Possibilities from a Past President:

To all the hosta lovers out there...Spring will be here before we know it! I am always encouraged with the warming sunny days of February. Did you accomplish all your winter projects? I might try sowing some seeds. 

We have excellent meetings and garden visits planned. This year we’ll be having our auction so start planning now for what you might divide and bring to the sale. I went to the Midwest Regional’s Winter Meeting in Milwaukee on February 21st. I hope to give a short report on the highlights of the day. Someday I will attend the Great Lakes Region’s Hosta College in Piqua Ohio. This year it is March 20 & 21st. Hosta lovers are the nicest and friendliest people, and we can meet more at the Regional and National conventions held this year. 

Please consider helping with the board. Our officers are listed in the newsletter. We always welcome new ideas and participation. See you all at the first meeting of the Year.
