See you at Het Gazebo in 2026 !

That's a wrap for 2025 !

 Thank you to all the volunteers that kept Het Gazebo loking great though out the year ! There were many new weather records this year. That didn't keep them away.  The gorgeous hosta greens have now been transformed to hues of Autumnal golden bronze. Today was the last day for Weeding Wenesdays for 2025.  Het Gazebo is open for visitors the rest of the year ! Always a great place to stroll through if you're in the Diepenheim area !

Let's talk weather at Het Gazebo !

 We've had two heat waves, 

warmer than normal temperatures for this time of the year 

which meas a lot less rain fall !

But with all that being said,

Het Gazebo had a few gorgeous hosta growing months !

It's been a great Summer !

 Autumn begins next week !

We're ready to welcome those golden hosta colours !

Nights getting longer,

Days shorter , Autumn is approaching !

A golden hue starts to take over from the gorgeous Hosta greens ! 

Somewhere there's a frog . Can you spot it ?

A warm dry week forecast for the week ahead  !

Time to use the built in irrigation !

 

Het Gazebo, Where friends meet up !

It's very warm ! 

 Another heat wave in The Netherlands !

That didn't deter the volunteers and friends

from catching up at Het Gazebo this morning

with water, coffee and Belgian bonbons :)

Looking good !  

 

They, the hostas, know, you can tell

It's August !

The days are getting shorter, nights longer.

There's a shift towards the late summer Hosta garden.

Hosta growth has stabilized.

Hosta 'Wu-la-la' did do great after a rough start !

More and more seed heads replace flowers

But it's not Autumn just yet !

Next week we're expecting Summer 

temperatures once again !
