So on another lovely sunny day Amy negotiated the winding country lanes of North Yorkshire towards Skewsby near York. What a relief to find the sign ‘Rewela Hostas’ near the centre of the village and John waiting by the entrance to welcome us. Even as we turned into the driveway the spectacle of numerous hosta pots wetted our appetites.

We are delighted to have a guest blog from Pat Hutchinson. A confirmed Hosta lover of many years. Pat and her family own Yorke House & White Rose Cottage. An award-winning English country garden in the heart of Nidderdale. The garden has a series of distinct areas flowing through two acres of ornamental garden. Colour-themed borders of herbaceous perennials, roses and shrubs. Natural pond and stream with delightful waterside plantings. Plus of course a very large collection of Hostas!
