Day 59 Becoming famous...

A couple of years ago, a group of friends started a small gardening group.

It's called the "StekkenGekken" which literally translated means the "Cutting Crazy's".

Several members have huge collections of their favorite plants, like pelagoniums, cacti/succulents, hosta's. The rest have more general tastes, but we are all a tad excentric in our own way !

Plants are so cheap here in Holland that a lot of people just buy plants etc at the garden centre instead of sowing seed or taking cuttings.
Our group actually 'gardens' in the British sense of the word :~))

One of our group, Loeki, is well known for her 'Hosta garden' and takes part every year in the Rotterdam 'Verborgen Tuinen' (Secret Gardens) There have been articles about her and the garden in a couple of magazines and she will be on TV next year too !

One of the journalists heard about us and is doing a piece about us for a national garden magazine.

So we are all going to meet up at a members garden today (Saturday) to have our picture taken !!
