Hallson Gardens

Iowa....the last time I was in Cedar Rapids was 93'. Guess I'll be looking forward to July first in Chicago. Really NOT too late to go depending how far you have to drive. Party doesn't really start till Thurs. You'll have Friday and Sat to tour gardens and have dinner at the convention hotel, all i...

Do you regret not signing up for the Milwaukee convention? It's NOT too late. I have TWO openings. You can register under MY name as I won't be able to attend due to illness. Andy and Lisa Putnam.

From Don Dean via Lisa Putnam: Hi all, Hard to believe yet one more year has lapsed and brings us to our eleventh annual American Hosta Society on-line auction; mark your calendars for January 12th - 26th. Events such as this require the efforts of many volunteers, representing numerous hours of ded...

Last summer we utilized the boulders Lisa scored and hired a contractor to put in a water feature. It's a waterfall, stream and waterless pond. I have spring fever so bad I might have to go sit out there today. Enjoy our U-tube video. Later, Love, Lisa p.S. I'm mailing off my order to hallson's tod...

Last year in Boston, the convention hotel rate was $30 a night higher than the rate my frequent flyer hubby gets on his "corporate" membership honors. This year we are one mile away at the Super 8 with the first two nights, $102-. The next 4 will be $69-. It comes with breakfast. We don't spend all...

Honstly Phyllis I didn't know you are planning on moving. For some reason I thought you were remodeling your home. Where is your new home? Moving could be allot of work. I'm sure you know already. Call if I can help. I thought of you last week when I hugged Viktoria. Later, Love, Lisa

Dogs live in the moment. They don't anticipate VET appointments or "worry" about things that might happen to them. They do however get used to routine and when that get's broken...they might be puzzled but adapt. I recently put down my husky after 11 years. She was failing and what tore on my heart...

OMG....first I botched the addition and had a $10 credit. SCORE...it get's better. Chris leaves the good news on the voicemail and TWO e-mails to offer solutions to how I could use my windfall. I just LOVE a good suprise so I asked'm to provide misc lily bulbs. SCORE...nicely labeled bulbs just bre...

How cool is that? I'm just the opposite. Old House. Established garden and I just mailed off an order from Hallson's and it's not my first nor will it be my last! I found myself ordering more Lily bulbs but I did buy three hosta too. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Congrats and new home and gar...

We talked rings in a tour...
