Today there were a few volunteers busily preparing for this coming Friday. It's time for the yearly NL Doet volunteer action day ! New volunteers are encouraged to sign up and take part in registerd organizations that need volunteers throughout the year. Maybe joining in at Het Gazebo in Diepenheim is for you ? Friday the 13th just might be your lucky day !

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 !Wednesday, October 22, 2025

A few hostas are forming buds as if Autumn hasn't arrived !
And there are mushrooms !
Do you know the name of this one ?
