Indian Summer !

25C! Sunny and a warm wind in Diepenheim at Het Gazebo!

This past month has seen perfect growing conditions for weeds!

What a difference from when we left here last month!

The volunteers enjoyed the weather and kept at it!

There is still time to enjoy hosta leaves in a vase!

We'll be here next month! Wednesday  October 17th!

A meeting !

The Dutch Hosta Society Committee meeting

was held at Trompenburg(click here) this afternoon!

After a tour to check out their Hosta collection

and an agenda that kept us busy planning 2019

we're looking forward to celebrating

The Dutch Hosta Society's 30th Anniversary next year!

There is still lots to see this month at Trompenburg!

Lots of great ideas! Have to see how this one grows!

Thanks Hannie and Wim Guns for the hospitality!

 The second garden was about 7 km away !

 At least 1,200 hostas! And great ideas too! 

What a way to spend an afternoon in September!

 Thanks to Auctioneer masters Jannes and Ben
the Autumn auction was a great success!

 Laughs, bidding, hostas and a few other things

brought in a few extra Euro's for the " vereniging" !

 A photo with Piet!

 Hosta! The Friendship plant!

 Next time you make a flower arrangement,

try adding a hosta leaf in a creative new way!

Thanks Mrs. Bergerhof for sharing this idea!

And if you missed the list!

Thanks Mr. Bergerhof!

September in a hosta garden, after the Summer we had,

was a special treat to us all! Thanks for welcoming us in!
