My garden was the meeting spot for a midwest Hallson gathering a few years back, and two years ago was on
the local garden club tour.
The Hallson event was a pure delight.
The day before the garden club walk, my brother was in a very serious car accident and was taken to a major
hospital a couple of hours away for treatment of life-threatening injuries, and he was in surgery the morning of the walk.
I remember very little about the whole event. My good friend came to help me answer questions, and offer
moral support, and the day went quite well. I had only one person that day who thought she had to display
her superior knowledge of hostas by telling me that she had 'all 15 known varieties'. She said this as she
was standing in the chicken yard. Okay. She pointed at a huge Sum of All and said she had that one, and it
was Aueromarginata, and she wondered how I got mine to grow so large. I just smiled and said it was
good soil, good fertilize, and pointed at the cow yard.
I've had smaller groups at times as well, and I always love sharing my garden with others.
I agree with Viktoria. When I'm working in the garden, I sometimes forget to stop and enjoy the view,
seeing the to-do list instead.
