Flying Frog Hosta Farm
The Flying Frog will open May 1st. If you haven’t been there, plan to visit (if you have been there, plan to visit). They have over 1000 varieties of hosta and are adding more perennials each year. The display gardens are beautiful. The location is peaceful. If Summerset Winery has music that day, it floats into the gardens and makes you want to sit on the deck sipping a cold drink all afternoon.
Marsha and Bruno are not just great plantspeople but great people in general. Bruno is going to be at the downtown Farmer’s Market on Saturdays, too.
Throughout the summer the Frog has Open House events… enjoy refreshments and special pricing on certain plants. This year’s Open House dates:
Every weekend in May
June 11-13
June 25-27
July 16-18
July 30, 31 and August 1
