Seeking pond hosts for 2013 tour - interested?
We hope to tap into our vast list of previous pond tour hosts to find a few repeat tour stops. Since 2001 the TAWGS pond tour has visited 106 unique water gardens. Twelve of those locations have been revisited once and one pond was revisited twice. If your pond was previously on the tour (three or more years ago) and has never been revisited, please consider hosting a tour stop next year.
Of course, we're always looking for new ponds. So if you have a friend, neighbor or relative with a pond, please provide us with a name and phone number. You're also welcome to go ahead and toss the idea to them. A little encouragement from someone they know can go a long way toward getting a host commitment.
Our goal is to keep the tour entertaining and informative; to encourage membership growth; and to bring in the maximum revenue with the minimum of effort. We think it is important to keep the tour alive, but we need to keep it manageable.
