Growing Hostas

The Passionate Gardener Behind Growing Hostas

Hi, I’m Carrie Montgomery.

Welcome to Growing Hostas, your go-to resource for cultivating lush, vibrant hostas without the stress.

Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting out, I’m here to help you turn shady corners into thriving, low-maintenance plant havens.

My love for plants began in childhood where summers were spent barefoot in the dirt, chasing butterflies, and marveling at the tiniest garden bugs.

Though I work in the corporate world, my true passion has always the garden.

I started Growing Hostas to share my knowledge, swap stories, and encourage others to embrace gardening as a joyful, meditative practice.

My goal? To make gardening feel less like a chore and more like a rewarding, meditative experience.

Through Growing Hostas, I combine years of hands-on gardening experience with a storytelling approach to teach, inspire, and entertain.

I believe that every gardener deserves a space that brings them joy.
