Montgomery County Water Garden Society Pre-Pond Tour

Published 18 August 08 08:05 PM | Tim and Pam Cash

This year we were invited to be on the Montgomery County pond tour. We were last on the tour in 2004 just after having our largest pond completed. Since then we have added a 3rd smaller goldfish pond out back and a large water garden out front. So though some have been out to our home before there have been many changes to include all the landscaping that has really filled in. Tim and I spent some time this past week getting things in shape around the house for the pre-tour as well as the pond tour itself. The pre-tour allows everyone on the tour next week and the sponsors, to go out and see their fellow ponders ponds. So here are a few pics I took yesterday . Our pond is the larger photo There were 7 ponds in all. All were unique in there own way. The tour will show pond planners how to work with a small space, ponds for beginners and ponds for those like Tim and I who have been in the hobby for 7 years and managed to turn their back yards into their own get away. I was amazed by the ponds that people had in very small backyards. How they created their own little paradise and even though they did not have the benefit of living with woods around them or a few acres to add privacy, they managed to make their own private spaces with landscaping and creativity. Now we just have to keep everything outside looking good for the actual Pond Tour next Saturday. If you are in the area, we certainly hope that you will stop by next Saturday to visit our gardens! We look forward to seeing you. Please enjoy the photos. For more information on the Pond Tour or the Montgomery County Water Gardening Society, please visit: http://www.mcwgs.org/
