Clarence (C.H.) Falstad. C.H. is certainly no stranger to us, having presented another entertaining program to GHS several years ago. He is certainly no stranger to the world of hostas, either. He is a past president of the American Hosta Society and continues to serve AHS in a number of other capacities.
C.H. is a supreme plant lover and has spent an entire career promoting and advancing many plants, especially hostas and other perennials. He graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in Ornamental Horticulture, specializing in tissue culture. After graduating, he began working for Walters Gardens, Inc., located in Zeeland, Michigan, which is the premier provider of perennials to the trade in the United States and Canada. For almost 30 years he worked mostly in the Walters Gardens tissue culture lab operations with other periods of hybridizing work along with intellectual property activities - patents, trademarks and licensing of plants developed at Walters Gardens. He enjoys hybridizing hostas and numerous other plants, constantly seeking improvement. Most recently he has taken up the challenge of improving edible chestnuts (Castanea). One of his personal goals is to have woody trees and shrubs flowering every month of the year, a goal he jokingly admits will be a little more challenging in Michigan than in Georgia.
In C.H.’s program, entitled “Recent and Old Aspects I’ve Learned about Landscaping,” he will offer sage advice which he has gathered from his own experiences as well as that which he has received from other gardeners. He will also be presenting to us some new plants developed at Walters Gardens, including hostas, never before seen. His program promises to be exciting. Don’t miss it!
