Hosta garden to visit

My friend %26amp; I will be out seeking hosta gardens for a weekend in May. We are thinking of staying in Dubuque or Galena.

Can anyone recommend garden places to visit? We are planning to visit Frieda%26#39;s Hosta Garden in Dubuque.

Any there gardens that are open to the public within a reasonable distance form these towns?

Any recommendations on places to stay? Most B%26amp;B%26#39;s have only queen beds, we prefer a couple of beds.

Thanks, Rowie

Hosta garden to visit

I%26#39;m not sure about hosta gardens, but I think there%26#39;s one at Vanderveer Park in Davenport, IA. Davenport is perhaps a 2 hr. drive from Dubuque.

Another interesting option for gardeners that%26#39;s within a few hours drive of Dubuque is not exclusive to hostas. Check out the Seed Savers exchange in Decorah, IA: http://www.seedsavers.org/. It has a heritage garden that you can see: http://www.seedsavers.org/heritagefarm.asp.

Enjoy your trip!
