On Saturday morning, October 18, about 12 TAWGS members again showed their enthusiasm for water gardening by volunteering at Ward Meade Park to finish work on the pondless waterfall, re-build the fountain area and clean and net Anna‟s Pond.

Join us next Thursday the 21st at one of our members home and grab some fun and useful information by Brad Williams (Pond Host #1 on this years Pond Tour) as he shows off and demonstrates how to build economical low voltage lighting or enhance existing lighting with a few simple components

We'll here we are again. The season is changing. Squash is being taken from our gardens, Apples are ripe and seed pods are all around us. The nights are getting cooler and days are getting shorter. September is upon us and with this cooler weather we are thinking ... What's to come of our ponds and water features?

With the closing of one supplier comes the opening of another. Don & Tom's Bait and Tackle at 2108 NE Meriden Road have quietly been supplying Topeka with water feature pumps and supply's for the past year but will now be expanding their water feature supply's and accessories for any shape and size water feature you can dream up.

Don Hutley was previous owner of Waterscape Concepts and knows a thing or two about Ponds. Give him a call at 785-861-7275 and ask them about Ponds or let them know what you need. They offer TAWGS members a 20% discount. Welcome Don and Tom's. We look forward to having you as part of our club.

On a side note, Don & Tom's in conjunction with Wildcat Landscape have graciously taken in TAWGS and are providing us storage space for our materials used in the Garden Show and Pond Tour. On Aug 2nd, a few of us moved out of our old space and into the new . Thanks to TAWGS members Bill Kraus, Dave and Mary Horner, Kevin McCarthy, Bob Saathoff and Chris Newell that made the move fast and easy.
