A garden in Holland. Welcome on the gardensite of Thijs de Graaf. (E-mail: tjdegraaf@gmail.com.) about my hobby "gardening".

terras tuin

 

Hertshooi (Hypericum elite 'Orange Wave') The pictures of my garden are from different seasons. Winter, spring, summer and autumn and have their own charm. In "spring 2007" and “summer flowers” I describe many plants.
Also I have mentioned my
house plants and euphorbia. On the page "garden" you can see pictures of the front- and back garden.
voortuin

 

Comma (Polygonia c album)  Family Nymphalidae In 2007, I  have started to describe the animals in the garden. Many insects have their own page now. (butterflies, damsel-dragonflies, flies,beetles, bugs, hoverflies 1 and 2)  

Harlekijnlieveheersbeestje (Harmonia quadripunctata). Genus Harmonia. Onderfamilie Coccinellinae. Familie Lieveheersbeestjes (Coccinellidae). 

My holidays

Prachovské Skály  (Prachov Rots) I also have made some pages about different holidays. I describe the landscape as much as possible. Of course I have made a choice. The pictures of France are from a long time ago. But also the pictures of Ireland and Scotland I had to scan. Czechia and England are the last visited countries.

August 2012.

Het weghalen van een zieke paardenkastanje.

The removal of our sick horse chestnut.

When we came back from our holiday to Australia ( on June 1) one of our chestnuts already lost all its leaves. There was no sap under the bark. 
I have made
a report of the removal of the tree on August 2, 2012.
Photo 5 June 2012: You can see the difference with the left chestnut and the chestnuts on the front of the house.
