Dive In: Austin Pond Society Tour 2021

Ready to plunk into garden duty tour again ? Start off with a splash on June 5 and 6 on the26th Annual Austin Pond Society tour . This yr features 13 pond gardens showcasing different expressive style and sizes in Austin , Lakeway , Cedar Park , Georgetown , and Round Rock . Actually , I lead to the first one in 1995 when pond , fountains , and streams were quite newfangled concept for home gardeners . I was awestruck . So were many others and the Austin Pond Society rocketed as anessential work force - on teaching resourceand enthusiastic backing group . presently after , CTG was on the spot to document pond garden over the long time , where we ’ve learn so many beautiful pond gardens and met such fun , creative people likeBarbara and David Hale . Very quickly , the tour was n’t just about ponds — it was about gardening WITH pool and evince personal panache . And every pond nurseryman that CTG ’s met gleefully said , “ You would n’t trust how much wildlife we have now!”Jeannie Ferrier & Steven MonfriniShari & John BauerAlicia Froelich and Paul OrtnerLaura and Travis McGarraughThe Austin Pond Society ’s up-and-coming fellow member volunteer to carry new pond with fish , like atDell Children ’s Hospitala few days back .
