The St. Louis Water Garden Society hosts a pond and water garden tour in June. This annual event, affectionately dubbed “Pond-O-Rama,” is our premier fundraising event. In fact, Pond-O-Rama attracts visitors from all over St. Louis and beyond. It is no surprise why. First, the beauty and peacefulness of water gardens is obvious. Plus, the tour includes some of the most spectacular private and commercial gardens in St. Louis. Tour guests love the intimate experience. Similarly, our hosts get to enjoy showing off their gardens and sharing information.
Please contact the Committee Chair, Ginny Mueller at pondtour@slwgs.org to learn more or to get involved.
