Build-A-Water-Garden Day - Container Water Gardens & Fountainscapes

 Fountainscapes and container water gardens provide homeowners with a unique and creative way to decorate their outdoor living space. They can be used on decks, patios, verandas - even indoors & on balconies. Consider using these gorgeous water features as stunning accents within a larger landscape.

During this hands on workshop, our expert staff with teach you the technical 'secrets' of the trade. They will also demonstrate how to balance style, colour, texture and plants to create a rapture-filled aquatic lifestyle around your home, without draining your bank account. We will work together as a team to build several water features so that you'll have the fundamental skills to let your creative side go wild!

A beautifully catered lunch is included and there will be refreshments, gifts, prizes and special discounts for all those who participate fully. This event runs rain or shine, so please dress appropriately - and don't forget to bring your favourite shovel. This event is very popular and it almost ALWAYS sells out, so register now to avoid disappointment.

Build-A-Water-Garden-Day - Rainwater Harvesting Systems

If you are concerned for the current state of our natural environment, you'll want to come join us for this down-to-earth, hands-on water garden learning experience.  Our professional crew will demonstrate and teach you everything you need to know about the hottest new trend in water gardening - combining rainwater harvesting and water features. There are two fabulous new options available this season to help you beautify your landscape:

RainGardens - Landscaped areas planted with native wild flowers and other cultivated wetland plants that soak up rain water, mainly from roof water downspouts. A RainGarden fills up with a few inches of water after a storm and then slowly filters the water back into the ground rather than running off into your local storm sewer system.

Rainwater Harvesting Systems - Capture storm water from rooftops & patios into an underground reservoir. They are combined with a beautiful decorative water feature to help filter the water so that it can be reused to wash your car, fill up your hot tub or pool, or even irrigate your landscape at a later date during dry periods. They are better than RainGardens because all water is captured, filtered, and reused.

Come out for a fun-filled day of learning and say goodbye to ugly, plastic rain barrels. A beautifully catered lunch is included and there will be refreshments, gifts, prizes and special discounts for all those who participate fully.  This event runs rain or shine, so please dress appropriately - and don't forget to bring your favourite shovel.
