Hosta Island

There has been a lot of changes since I started creating the island hosta garden for my community to enjoy. Who am I kidding? I mainly did it for me. LOL I've added quite a few new plants and transplanted some (whom seem to have weathered the insult). I am blessed with no slugs but do have deer which I'm hoping to deter with Deer Out.

Donna: I love the idea of an island Hosta garden. And I'm sure the community does enjoy it. Pretty soon I may be looking for a community island as I'm running out of space fast! It looks lovely.

I am impressed with your gorgeous hostas! I must say that at first I thought that Hosta Island was a name of a hosta that I hadn't heard of! LOL Great name, great island!
