The Water Garden Tour

The Western Colorado Gardening Foundation will conduct The First Annual Water Garden Tour, including an Ice Cream Social, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Saturday, August 23, 2003. Eight ponds have been selected on the Redlands and near the Mesa Mall to exhibit. Plus, one lucky ticket holder will be randomly chosen to win a valuable door prize. You need not be present to win.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see the captivating creations of outstanding water gardeners in this area. Enjoy the beauty; get ideas for constructing or maintaining your own water garden; and share experiences with other pond owners.

The garden tour will begin at the Girl Scouts at 580 24½ Road, Grand Junction, CO, across from the East entrance of the Mesa Mall. Tickets, information and tour Maps will be available beginning at 8:30 AM on Saturday, August 23. Tour participants can then use the maps and follow signs to tour the eight water gardens, in any order, on their own. From 1:00 to 4:00 ice cream and cookies will be served at the final water garden on the tour where participants can meet with other pond enthusiasts.
