Water Wonders: Aquatic Features in your Landscap

June 12, 2011 10AM - 11AM at the Phantom Gardener

The musical cascade of a waterfall. The refreshing cool of a pond-side slope. A chorus of chirping frogs or singing birds drawn to a backyard brook. Introduce the sound, the allure, the magic of water into your landscape, or learn how to maintain and enhance an existing pond in this workshop. Ken Schoen, who has specialized in water features for over twenty years, will share his wisdom on design and installation, maintenance, energy-efficient filtration systems, plant material and fish, and more. Whether you’re interested in a tub on your deck with plants and goldfish or a naturalistic swimming pool, you will benefit from this overview of the techniques and materials that go into a thriving aquatic feature. While you’re here, visit the demonstration pond that Ken is scheduled to install at Phantom this spring! Fee: $15 payable in advance (but walk-ins welcome) Phantom Gardener, 6837 Rt 9, Rhinebeck, NY 12572. (845)876-8606  http://www.thephantomgardener.com/
