WATERGARDENING ! " Everyone that came had ample opportunity to meet and learn from the speakers and we all had a lot of FUN " , says Mark carter , president of the
West Tn. Chapter of N.A.W.G.S. . We want to give a BIG THANK YOU to all who
came out and took part in the workshop . We are already looking forward to

The 8th ANNUAL " BUILD A POND DAY "
Brings FUN and Education to our community
The West Tn Chapter of the North American Water Gardening Society ( N.A.W.G.S ) will host the 8th annual “Build A Pond Day” on Saturday May 17, 2008 from 9:00 am till 2:00 pm. This Educational event is FREE to the public and will give those interested a great opportunity to learn from Professional Waterfeature Designer/Installer Mark Carter and his crew from Carter's Nursery , Pond & Patio . "USA Today rates water features as the #1 enhancement home owners are choosing” explains Mark Carter (landscape designer and V.P. of Carter's Nursery, Pond & Patio, Inc). “This is the biggest trend in landscaping across the country and the need for accurate information on water gardening is huge. Hopefully by doing work-shops like this, we can help educate the public and offer valuable insight and information ". Mark also adds "Because of the drought conditions we've experienced over the last few years and a scarcity of resources as of late , we've developed a system that can collect rainwater in an underground cistern to replace the evaporation and splash-out in the water feature , unlike other cisterns, this one is part of an ecosystem, the water is re circulated, so you don't get a smell or stagnant water . You can oversize them, and they can be used to water the lawn and garden, so you don't squander precious resources,” said Carter .
They resemble normal ponds and a variety of other waterfall features but they are deeper in spots and have several collection points for rainwater. Called a RainBank, they can be built in all sizes and prices, and even a small one normally doesn't need to be topped off with a garden hose.
" Hopefully, people who attend the workshop will leave with some great ideas. " Everyone I have talked to about this is very excited and looking forward to this learning experience.” When you register for the workshop you will receive the address and directions to the pond-build site. We will be constructing a pondless waterfall this year. A pondless waterfall will fit into most any design and is great for anyone who wants the soothing sound of flowing water in a Low Maintenance application and with the added interest of the rainwater harvesting system everyone will come away with some good solid information .. This is a perfect opportunity for gardeners and all you ‘Do-It-Yourself' folks. You may participate if you like ( wear appropriate clothing and boots – please no flip-flops or sandals) or you can just enjoy watching and learning from the sidelines (bring a folding chair). Call (731) 424-2206 or come by Carter's Nursery , Pond & Patio to register; this design/build workshop is FREE to the public and will fill quickly so call to reserve your spot now .
