It is hard to believe that another summer
is gone. The kids are back in school and football season is
in full swing! In the Atlanta area, we certainly couldn't
complain about the weather this summer. Our temperatures were
moderate and we had plenty of rain to keep our ponds filled.
Of course, some may say that Hurricane Frances and Ivan added
a little too much water to some of our ponds and gardens!
Now that autumn is upon us, it is time to
start thinking about how to make sure our ponds get ready
for the coming cold months. It is also a time to start sprucing
up our gardens by replacing those tired summer annuals with
some new rustic colors. And fall is the best time to build
your water garden! We have one more pond construction seminar
this year: November 6th. This popular class is on Saturday
afternoon and will give you a lot of the info you need to
begin your project. We will also have our fall seminar series
including two sessions on pond winterization. Check inside
this newsletter for all the details including dates and times.
At Wakoola Water Gardens we look forward to
watching our garden turn colors in the fall. We hope you will
stop in and stroll around the ponds to see things such as
the spectacular tropical water lilies at their full size,
which will continue to bloom until November. We have a new
shipment of fountains and statuary to tempt you. A great way
to add color to your winter garden is to put out a bright
pot filled with flowers. We have many colors add sparkle to
your winter garden.
Our gift shop is brimming with new items just
in time for holiday shopping (eek, did I say holiday?) Yes,
it will soon be time to shop for your favorite gardener and
we have lots of ideas for gift giving for that special person
in your life. Check inside this newsletter for a sampling
of great new products.
