Catching up !

The last day of September !

Does it seem possible to catch up with the weeds at Het Gazebo ?

The Netherlands is now in its second wave of Covid - 19.

The volunteers are addapting to  " hands, face, (a lot of) space" 

and getting a lot of fresh air ! And are even prepared for rain.

Thanks for keeping Het Gazebo growing for the future !

Het Gazebo in Diepenheim has been featured in the regional TV news, RTV Oost! 

Het Gazebo (click here) It begins at minute 7:10. Ton expains how Het gazebo has fewer hostas. The heat and very dry weather over the last few years have really reduced hosta numbers. Before a permanent solution can be made, the garden hoses have been rolled out! And, as you see, that's quite the hosta leaf to water!

 

It's Autumn !

Summer weather hasn't quite left...one more day of sunshine!

The local farmers are busy bringing in the corn !

Looks like the volunteers ejoyed their coffee break outside ! 

While most hostas at Het Gazebo are turning to 

their coppery gold colours of Fall...

Other hostas are still holding on to Summer! 

Thanks to the volunteers for keeping Het Gazebo green and gold ! 

Are you one of these hostaholics ?

Join me ! I sure am!

Thanks Willeke and the AHS !

When repairs are necessary !

When it's time to replace a pump, Monumet has to move !

It's quite the technical strucure ! And an art form with stairs in one !

4 years ago the pump at Het Gazebo looked a lot different !

Today, Monomet is used to get a great view!

When you visit Diepenheim, take the stairs!

Weeding Wednesday's at Het Gazebo !

Autumn! What a beautiful way to start September at Het Gazebo !

Warm sunny weeding weather after the night had cooled to 8 C.

The volunteers, changing and adapting techniques when necessary,

made a lot of progress keeping the area weed free and hosta green!
