The St. Louis Water Garden Society (SLWGS) was formed by local water gardeners and fish enthusiasts to share information about water gardening as a hobby.
Since 1990, SLWGS has hosted educational events for this purpose.
Join us to learn, grow, play, and volunteer together.
Civic Contribution
The St. Louis Water Garden Society plants and maintains the Lily Ponds at the Jewel Box in Forest Park. This beautiful, living attraction is our gift to St. Louis residents and visitors. In the Spring, our members and friends meet for a day of hands-on water gardening to fill the Lily Ponds with plants from their winter storage. It is a long day of hard work, but the reward is priceless.
Common Interests
Water gardening is a wonderful hobby. The challenge of building and maintaining an ecosystem of plants, fish, and water attracts people of all levels of expertise. You don't need to be an expert to appreciate the beauty and tranquility of a water feature. Sharing knowledge is the foundation of our society and is still core to our purpose today. Through our activities, we help each other get the most enjoyment from our shared hobby.
Member Awards
The Water Garden Society relies on our members, including the volunteer Board of Directors, Committee Chairs & Members, and Sponsors for time and talent they donate to our organization.
Each year, we honor those members who have earned distinction through their contribution, achievement, or spirit.
