Welcome to Amity Farm. We really dig hostas. Actually, we are pretty much crazy about them. Anything that enjoys hanging out in the shade as much as we do is all right by us. Hosta plants are just about the most hardy, most reliable, and most forgiving shade perennial around. They grow quickly and thickly, leaving no room for weeds in between. The best news of all is that most every hosta is generally content to live on the dry side if there is enough shade. That means they can be planted under that maple tree between all those roots, and still get enough to drink. What’s not to love? It’s now 2011, and we are celebrating our 6th summer in business!  Six years ago we had about a dozen customers... for the entire summer. In 2010 we hosted hundreds and hundreds of you. And we’re looking forward to seeing your delight as you wander among the thousands of plants we now offer for sale. We are adding a number of new miniature hostas - some decked out as perfect Mothers’ Day gifts. OH, YES! ~ WE HAVE EMPRESS WU – the largest hosta known in cultivation. We also are growing Hosta ‘White Feather’ which you have heard so much about. Check out our broadened selection of ferns and epimedium plants; our list of varieties reads like a candy store menu ! Come out and see them all for yourself. Happily, hostas – and all the other plants we offer – transplant well all season long. Our plants are field grown (well, forest grown) in good glacial till here at the farm, which makes for strong roots and a good transition to your shady spot. Just because they are good at spreading their toes under our trees doesn’t mean they aren’t excited about growing in other folk’s gardens; I hear them chattering about that daily. We will dig up your selections and send them home with you, only shedding an occasional tear. Our farm kitties, Chassis and Diesel, will wander through the woods with you. Chamois (the shy one) may even join them if we can get her to step outside. Shade-tolerant plants don’t have to be boring. Come see our hosta farm for yourself! JUST LIKE LAST YEAR, we will be open FIVE DAYS A WEEK! Hours are Wednesdays through Saturdays, 10 am - 5 pm, and Sundays are still 1 pm - 4 pm. That means we’ll be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays... Amity Farm will open its 2011 season on Saturday, April 30th, and we’ll shut the gate on Sunday, September 4th. Call ahead if you like and we’ll give you the details. We are just a 30-minute drive from Columbus, Ohio, just west of the tiny village of Alexandria, on highway 37 (which IS Johnstown-Alexandria Road) between Johnstown and Granville. (see map) Cash and checks are cheerfully accepted. And, we think we’ve figured out how to process credit card transactions, too! (Please, no mail orders.) Wear your old shoes; bring a friend. You know, we think you’ll really dig this place. Sarah & Joe Chaulk Amity Farm Shade Perennials 3050 Johnstown-Alexandria Road Alexandria, OH 43001 740-924-0400 All Rights Reserved. © 2011 Amity Farm
