Ponds, Water Gardens & Pools Oh My!!!



Who doesn't enjoy the soothing sound of a waterfall, the wonderful scent of water lilies or the graceful movement of butterfly Koi moving in the water. Join us for our fourth Annual Parade of Ponds water garden tour.

Free Hands-On Pondless Waterfall Class

What's a pondless waterfall? It's a water feature without a pond. Well, sort of. There is a pond but it is hidden in the ground with rocks. The waterfall has the appearance of disappearing into the ground.



Join us on April 18th 9am-4pm in Bradenton for a hands on class on how to create a pondless waterfall. Anyone interested in attending the class should contact us at backyardgetaway@verizon.net for address info.
