When we moved to this home there were bushes everywhere which were dying - 73 of them! So we removed them and I began to add hostas. I have many flowers that complement the hostas in the spring but the rest of the season I let the hostas define my garden. The garden is still in progress and ever changing, but it is my haven. - Jennifer
