- To disseminate information and help to the members.
- To enjoy discussions about our ponds, lives and have a good time enjoying each other’s company.
Or to put it simply: if you like ponds or water gardens, good conversation, good people and good food, you’ll fit right in! We all love sharing and talking about what we know, and learning from each other in the process.
As one member put it “just being out side and having a place to escape to by sitting next to your pond is a wonderful thing and providing a place for wildlife to enjoy is rewarding and then having people to share it with is awesome “.
So no matter what type of water feature you may have or want, from a contemplative “reflecting pool”, a “pond-less” waterfall, a cool and quiet water garden filled with plants and flowers in bloom to a yard-filling pond stocked with dozens of koi and other assorted fishes, the HOTWGPS is the place for you!
