Welcome to  Hosta Choice Gardens! Hosta Choice Gardens is now closed due to deaths of Udo Dargatz (May 2007) and Margot Dargatz (November 2007).  This includes both retail and mail order. Both the business and property are for sale. Please see our Buy Our Farm section for photos and other property information. Email messages for Margot & Udo's two daughters, Susan and Karen, can be sent to ninsue@hotmail.com       We specialize in growing beautiful, lush Hostas! At Hosta Choice Gardens, located in the middle of south-western Ontario, Canada, we specialize in growing beautiful hostas.  We offer an extensive CHOICE of hostas and we are proud of our beautiful, CHOICE plants.  Of course, hostas are the gardener's CHOICE - the exceptionally beautiful foliage enhances any garden setting, especially shady locations. We love working with our hostas in the gardens and the propagating houses.  They are such wonderful plants and there is always something new and interesting happening in the world of hosta breeding. A serendipitous bonus of having the hosta nursery is the fact that we now have the opportunity to meet so many fascinating people who make their way to our secluded little corner of the world.  Being able to exchange ideas with other gardeners is always a great learning opportunity. For people who would like to learn more about hostas, we make our complete collection of hosta books available for browsing.  There is also a picnic tent and table where everyone can enjoy complimentary coffee and cookies. Our nursery is located in south-western Ontario, approximately 1/2 hour west of London.
