Phone: (207) 351-1880
Jun 19 thru Aug 07, 2011. The Seacoast Water Garden Club is hosting its sixth annual pond tour this summer!

We anticipate a wonderful collection of water gardens this year, ranging from small backyard sanctuaries to a large property with 13 ponds! Each garden offers a unique example of how a water garden can be created to fit almost any situation. The Club is comprised simply of area people who, as Booker Nevius from the Water Garden Department at Wentworth Greenhouses says, "Love their pond or would love to have a pond!" In 2006, Karen Kiokemeister of York had a new pond built and wanted to share it with others. With Booker's help, she gathered together 12 pond owners and launched the first tour. Since then, we have met many wonderful people who share this wonderful hobby! Each year we have a blend of new ponds and veteran ponds to enjoy. It is always fun to see what changes the veterans have made! We invite you to participate in these Sunday journeys. Event #5956 | Report Update
