A company that I buy hosta from, The Hosta Farm, is having an 'emergency' sale. Last winter, the had a devastating snowfall, which crushed most of their greenhouse space. If that wasn't enough, his daughter was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. Needless to say, the guy is in a real bind.
The 35mm plugs of the following varieties are being offered for $3.85 each. If you buy hosta mail order, you know this is a fantastic deal. He is planning on shipping these the first week of July.
Varieties available:
- Abiqua Drinking Gourd
- Big Daddy
- Blue Angel
- Blue Hawaii
- Blue Mammoth
- Earth Angel
- First Frost
- Great Expectations
- Halcyon
- Patriot
- Pilgrim
I was thinking maybe we could do a a couple of group buys and save on shipping costs. We can organize by proximity for pick-up. For example, I can receive for Gaithersburg/Rockville/Silver Spring/Frederick, etc. If someone wanted to set up for PA, NY, DE, etc. that would be great.
I can put the initial purchase on my credit card, and you can pay me when you pick them up.
What do you think, can we help the family out?

He is also offering a 'buy now, use later' deal on gift certificates. If you buy a certificate now and wait until fall to use it, he will double the value. $20 gets you $40, etc.
If you are interested in the gift certificates, you can buy these directly at
