Mini Hosta Gardens

Marcia Fluer, former Twin Cities reporter/anchor and her husband, Phil Ross, have turned their backyard into a railroad garden. It features dozens of miniature hostas, alpine plants and hand-crafted village houses, businesses and townspeople. They call it the "Big Buck and Chipmunk Short Line Railroad." Thanks to Marcia and Phil for letting us visit and share this on our website!

Mini hostas in containers

Arrangements using mini hostas are only limited by your creativity. The variety of colors, forms, textures, and blooms of mini hostas give you the flexibility to make visually appealing displays. Below are some examples created by members of the Minnesota Hosta Society for the July 2009 Cut Leaf Show. Thanks to all who allowed us to photograph their creations!

Here are some mini hosta displays at the 2010 American Hosta Society Cut Leaf Show.
