Hosta Society of Greater Cincinnati  March meeting notes
 Jane Kozlowicz gave an interesting slide show and presentation on ivy plants - members of the 2nd group of plants - those that go with Hostas.  One basic fact was to try any ivy (even those marked tropical in local stores) outside.  Most will winter over.  She had examples of various plants.
