More about 2011 Stepping stones Garden tour.
This is the one special garden I have been waiting to see. Here it says she has some rare Hostas. She admits to collecting. I think there is a special breed of Hosta gardners who do that and even more so raise their hostas from seed. I would think you have to be a dedicated hosta gardner to do that. I can't wait to see the native flowers she said was there when they moved in.
Lets see if the street view embed. works.

.................Harvey's rare Hosta plant, which she plans to name Milky Way, is believed to be an offshoot of the spilled milk hosta. Once it is registered, Harvey will name the hosta and also can choose to sell divisions of the plant or create a tissue culture from it and make it available to other hosta growers..............................In addition to the Milky Way hosta, another unique hosta in Harvey's garden is the Sadie Hybben Harvey, a plant Harvey named for her late dog and for Menomonie photographer Pete Hybben, who helps her in the garden.
Harvey tries to recycle as much as possible in her garden, using leaves and pine needles for mulch............
I am sure to enjoy it. I can't wait to see ponds and the use of rocks. It could rain. Which could be good news.
There has been curernt articles in the papers and an appearance on the local news.Links about the tour:
