Welcome back to a new episode of Hosta La Vista — your favorite podcast for all things green, leafy, and slightly obsessive. This week, your hosts Betsy Peterson and Mandy Olson head to Cuyahoga County, Ohio, to chat with Barb Rauckhorst, President of the North Coast Hosta Society and a proud Master Gardener.
Barb shares her story of falling in love with hostas, leading one of Ohio’s most active local societies, and finding purpose and joy through community gardening. We’ll talk about club events, growing membership, and what it really means to serve as a Master Gardener.
Barb also touches on horticultural therapy, a meaningful practice that uses gardening to support healing and wellness. To learn more, visit the American Horticultural Therapy Association at www.ahta.org.
