Het Gazebo in the rain!

It was one of those rare times for the volunteers at Het Gazebo!

Rain! A rainy afternoon! Sure was great for the hostas though!

beds weeded, a layer of compost and hostas planted!

We're back on Wednesday the 17th of July!

Time for a celebration!

The Dutch Hosta Society is 30 this year!

Load up the car! Let's go to Trompenburg (click here) !

  After 30 years it was time for something new!

 Together, Karin, the standing chairperson

and Arie van Vliet, the original founder

unveiled the Society's new name!

Hosta Vereniging de Lage Landen !

Hosta Society of the Low lands !

The leaf show and best hosta in pot were judged!

 We strolled through the gardens and the Hostalaan!

And had time to see the impressive collection of 

Hostas introduced by nurseries here in the Low Lands! 

 Jeroen Linneman of Hosta Valley (click here)

shared with us  a great presentation about his 

growing collection of original hostas! 

 Members, friends, new faces and familiar ones

all spent a gorgeous Summer's day at Trompenburg!
