The Hosta, or “Queen of the Shade,” is a symbol of friendship and devotion. The first Eastern Ontario Hosta Society (EOHS) photo contest seeks to celebrate the Hosta’s beauty and shade loving resilience through unique, colouful images from the garden.

Class B: Bold and Beautiful: photographs of mature clumps of Hostas.

Class D: Serenity in the Garden: Hostas in a garden or landscape.


Members may enter up to two colour photographs per category. Photos must not have been submitted to a previous photo contest. Winners in each class will be announced in Spring 2024. Prizes will be awarded to winners.

We hope this contest inspires you to capture the singular beauty of the Hosta in your own gardens and gardens you love. Good luck!
