Warm and Sunny!

We enjoyed a great warm summer weekend at Krijn Spaan Nurserey for their Garden and Art Fair! The Dutch Hosta Society volunteers chatted about slugs and snails and Hostas! There's always something worth talking about when it comes to that Friendship plant known as the Hosta! Some visitors at our stand were glad to share their 'one Hosta in pot that is slug free' stories! Others were glad to hear any advice to do with keeping slugs away!  The Hosta 'Wheee' show plant attracted lots of attention as well as Hosta 'Fire place' and the Mouse Ears examples!  It was soon 5 pm and time to pack it all up! There's time enough to get ready for the next Hosta activity next weekend!
On the 5th of September The Dutch Hosta Society hosts their  September Garden Tour! This time in West Brabant! That should be a lot of fun!
  

Get busy at the Gazebo!

Yesterday, Wednesday the 26th of August, a group of  Dutch Hosta Society members joined along side by a few local volunteers in Diepenheim for the second round of Hosta inventory! And more weeding! 

 Thanks to the organised paperwork preparations by Frans, the job was quickly picked up by teams of two's! With a list of Hostas and a map for each section, the teams were able to get through quite a few sections of the garden! After yesterday, it looks like there's just one more third still to do! Great work!

 Part of volunteering is also chatting and coffee! 

What better way to spend a day!

 Hostas, coffee, Hostas!

The Gazebo is looking great! We will try and get together one more time, round about early Fall, to finish the last round of Hosta inventory! Before the Hostas disappear for the winter! Hope you can join us then! Fall can be lovely in The Netherlands!
