A busy week at Het Gazebo !

First we'll start with NL Doet !
The volunteers arrived a day early :)
The weather forecast was much better than expected on Friday !
So, with a the enthusiastic group of people, they 
covered the paths with bark mulch, weeded
and enjoyed a great lunch together !
Hope to see you next year at NL Doet !
Today, a Spring like sunny blue sky 15 C day!
The volunteers were expanding the hosta beds,
replanted the newly created areas and weeded.
Wow ! Lots of work the last week !
This will be great in just a few months time !

The volunteers are back !

at Het Gazebo in Diepenheim !
Last week was code yellow for freezing rain, ice and snow!
Today might have been the warmest 25th of February on record !
16 C in Diepenheim 
There are new plans! 
 Bigger planting beds with fewer paths between them.
The idea is to make weeding this huge abstract
Hosta leaf easier and more managable.
Sounds like a great start to 2026 !

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 !
