Tim and Gloria Hammelman have moved to a cottage on two acres overlooking Hika bay on Lake Michigan.

We have waves of hostas growing here, including some Lakeside cultivars which are now getting their first look at a real lake. Aquilegia, arisaema, astilbe, athyrium, dicentra, heuchera, labiatae, lamium, liatris spicata, ligularia, limonium, penstemon, pulmonaria, sedum, tricyrtis, and similar companion plants are interspersed with the hostas.
