All very different, all unique in their own way!

There's still more to explore... next time......

Wood chips!

 Welcome to Het Gazebo in Diepenheim!

A beautiful Autumnal November 16th!

Time to attack a HUGE pile of wood chips!

Meet the friendly group of enthusiastic volunteers !

Many wheelbarrows, coffee and laughs that's for sure!

There was a lot of this!

To cover the paths through this big artistic Hosta leaf!

Moss anyone? Where did that come from? Number 30? 

 The end result!

 The pile of wood chips all used up! Het Gazebo has a new look! 

One more visit planned for 2016! Wednesday, December 14th!

See you in Diepenheim for hot chocolate and laughs and of course

a bit of work at Het Gazebo.

"To get started in the garden can be difficult, but it's always a challenge when it's time to stop!"

 Wednesday the 19th of October a group of volunteers challenged the weather and got together in Diepenheim! It was a really wet day here in The Netherlands! Between the showers and the coffee breaks, pumpkin cake, lunch and a tour of the art displays that Diepenheim is known for, they were able to enjoy a bit of blue sky and sunshine as they cleared the paths of weeds!

This would cheer up anyone on such a rainy day!

The wood chips have been ordered for November 16!

Join in, bring a wheel barrow! Coffee, cake and lunch provided!

2017 is soon approaching!

A few of The Dutch Hosta Society committee members gathered together in Otterlo today to discuss a few agenda points and to plan the upcoming calender of events! 2017 is shaping up to be another great Hosta year! We'll see each other on March 4th for the Hosta Master Class and AGM! Three months later join in the Summer garden tour on Saturday, June 17th! Then soon to follow is the annual September garden tour! Saturday September 2nd! Mark these dates on your calender!
