Who are we?

The North Texas Water Garden Society is a nonprofit organization that was formed to encourage a greater appreciation and interest in water gardens. The NTWGS also promotes the study and culture of aquatic plants, fish and ponds.

We provide information on all aspects of water gardening, and publish a monthly newsletter, Water Works, that contains articles of interest to the beginner as well as the advanced water gardener.

Now that the official statement is out of the way, the NTWGS is a bunch of folks who have ponds, wish they had ponds, or just like the idea of water gardening. We are located in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area (that's in Texas, USA, y'all ).

The Constitution and By-Laws of NTWGS are available in PDF format. If you don't already have Adobe^® Acrobat^® Reader^™ you can pick up a copy here.

Events and Projects

Pond Tour

Each year in June, the NTWGS sponsors the Annual Tour of Ponds. This is a self-guided tour of our members ponds across the metroplex. You purchase a tour book and drive around Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and visit our members ponds. There are big ponds, small ponds, multiple ponds, ponds with streams, ponds with waterfalls and just about any other landscaping or pondscaping feature that you can imagine.

Pond Tour 2007 was such a success that we're already hard at work on Pond Tour 2008. If you are interested in finding out more about the pond tour, contact our Pond Tour Chairperson or visit the Pond Tour information page.

What else do we do?

The NTWGS regularly attends the local home and garden shows. Members are available at the NTWGS booth to answer questions about water gardening and pondkeeping. We donate our time and manpower to help maintain the Leftwich Reflecting Pool at the Texas Discovery Gardens located in Fair Park and the elephant stream at the Dallas Zoo. We also have a fish and plant exchange, free aquatic plant potting workshop, and koi rescue.

If you are interested in working on one of our projects, please contact our Projects Chairman.
