A Place to Ponder

News Stream

 The Topeka Area Water Garden Society is having our 31st annual Pond Tour on June 25-26th. Explore seven local gardens, five are private residences, two are public gardens. Meet the owners, learn about water gardening under various conditions, and get ideas how to transform your own backyard. Tickets are $8 a person (kids under 14 are free, no pets please), and can be purchased from: Don & Tom's Bait & Tackle, Hy-Vee, Jackson’s Greenhouse, Patio, Pool & Fireside, Skinner Garden Store, and Wild Bird House. Money raised from the tour is used to help build or maintain water gardens in our community.

Next Meeting

Our June TAWGS meeting will be held pond-side at 1442 SW Collins Ave., Wednesday the 18th at 7pm.

Host Lin Fredericksen moved into her Collin's Park home last fall with her husband Brian Caldwell and having gone on last year's pond tour featuring some patio-sided ponds was inspired to put in a small feature to bring the sound of water to the backyard. Join us as she shares her new feature and we'll talk about water gardening. Treats and refreshments will be provided. We'll also have a raffle so bring an item to donate to it if you want, but don't feel obligated to do so.

Please bring a lawn chair, hope to see you there!
