Welcome to theAustin Pond Society |
Who we are
Our organization is composed of people from all walks of life and all ages who are interested in backyard ponds and related items: fountains, waterfalls, koi, goldfish, plants and all of the things that it takes to create a little bit of paradise in your own backyard. This organization of water gardening enthusiasts meets at the Zilker Botanical Garden Clubhouse in Austin at 6:30 on the third Monday of each month, every month except December. We normally have a light snack and drinks available. We also have speakers, special member events, volunteer opportunities and parties throughout the year. Feel free to come to our meetings; we'd love to meet you and help answer any water gardening, ponding or fish questions you may have! |
