Dixie Hosta

For those of us in the south, spring will be right around the corner and the annual online auction of the American Hosta Society is slated to begin on January 17, 2009 with all items closing on or before January 31, 2009.  You need not be a member of AHS to participate.

The AHS On-Line Auction raises funds for the AHS publication The Hosta Journal. Held each winter in mid to late January, the AHS auction offers a welcome reprieve from the winter lull with pictures and descriptions of Hosta and related shade gardening items. Home gardeners offering pieces of their prized hostas, businesses displaying their new offerings, and hybridizers introducing their newest creations all use this auction to help raise funds and draw attention to the plants they love. The AHS On-Line Auction offers fast paced bidding, the strategy of outwitting your mystery competition, and an opportunity to help the American Hosta society continue to flourish!
