The WNYHS was established in November 1996 for the purpose of promoting the genus Hosta,
and to help inform and educate the public on this wonderful and versatile plant.

Our last event the WNY Hosta Society Hosta Show
June 8th, 2008 at Menne's Nursey, was a success!
Scroll down to see photos from this year's show!

The theme was "How Does Your Garden Grow?" and featured many varieties of hosta leaves, displayed side-by-side and judged by American Hosta Society Master Judges. Blue Ribbon winners typify the registered characteristics of each variety. In addition to the cut leaves, there was also artistic arrangements featuring hosta leaves and container grown hostas, as well as educational displays and hosta culture information. Hostas are amazingly adaptable plants that lend themselves to many types of displays.
