Event Schedule
Mark your schedule for our program calendar of events!
Many of our meetings are hybrid, with the option of coming in person, or attending online via Zoom option. We respect your decision on whether to wear a mask. You may bring your lunch (to eat outside or in the Northeast Link) and your own refillable water bottle.
NEBG has a “no self-catering” rule. This rule ends our pot-lucks, desserts and beverages, and there is no eating in the Classrooms at any time. We are seeking suggestions for a new location so we can resume our events in our usual style.
The events planned include a great mix of education and fun. And as always, when you attend, you'll have the opportunity to connect with other hosta fans! We welcome and encourage you to provide your feedback and ideas for future programming. If you would like to share your suggestions for interesting speakers and activities, email us, or reach out to a Member of the Management Team.
Updates and weather cancellations will be announced here and on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/NEHosta
