Announcing the Fifth Annual Pond Tour benefiting Family & Children’s Aid

July 8th, 2006

 

This year’s Pond tour is taking place in Greater Danbury and Northern Ridgefield.  This year’s tour is limited in both geography and ponds, to allow you to spend more time viewing the gardens and less of your windshield.  At each stop someone will be there to great you and welcome you to their home and little piece of paradise.  Many new ponds are being hosted this year, both professionally installed as well as several “do-it-yourselfers”.

Brad Cooper’s love for water gardens has been spreading over the years.  The children at Family and Children at the various homes are jealous of those in the other homes and thus more ponds have to be installed.  One particular young woman uses a neighboring FCA pond to step back and get her emotions in check and because of her connection to the water feature, one is being put in at her FCA home June 24th.  Come and learn the installation tips on Saturday.

 

Water gardens are a place for people to relax by at the end of the day.  Watching the water is very soothing as is listening to the rambling stream.  Come and join us, experience the wonder of water gardens and raise money for Family and Children’s Aid.  Bring your friends and family and help out a neighbor.

 

The rain date is Sunday July 9th.
