Abstract

The article focuses on the hostas garden of David and Joan Poos of Crestwood, Missouri. The garden is home to over 740 hostas varieties. Aside from hostas, David also likes growing daylilies and keeping a vegetable garden. Being a collector of hostas, David reveals that his objective is to present the plants esthetically. Their yard features an informal woodland pond and hand-built berms to add contour and lift the plants at eye level, as well as allow the amendment of heavy clay soil and provide better drainage.
