Autunm in a Hosta garden!

Thanks to Ton, Jos, Hans and Jacqueline, a few members of The Dutch Hosta Society, for sharing their photo's! The Hostas are turning shades of gold! Beautiful plant pot combination ! Snails are being gathered and marked in a "catch and release" test....more about that next year! Hostas are the inspiration for kaleidoscope art and even the snails are being brought into the home in the form of glass!
There's still great Autumnal gardening weather here! See you on the 25th of November at Het Gazebo!

The Gazebo in Diepenheim!

It's our third visit!
 A group of volunteers from The Dutch Hosta Society together with new friends at The Gazebo spent the day in Diepenheim doing the last inventory check and weeding!
 We couldn't have had a better Autumn day! A bit of sunshine, great gardening weather and super hospitality kept us going! Thanks for the hot chocolate !
What a difference a day makes!
We'll be back on Wednesday the 25th of November!
Time to do a final clean up before winter!
See you then!
