8th Annual Parade of Ponds Garden Tour...

Has been canceled... please read on.

We were really looking forward to this years event, but... 

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, our 'Parade of Ponds Tour' is being put on hold for the 2010 season.  This is not a permanent cancellation of the event, only a temporary blip in a quite illustrious fund-raiser. 

Over the years, we have been very proud to bring you this event and open up the world of water gardening to a whole generation of gardeners.  Unfortunately, with the poor economic condition, we have lost too many of our corporate partners and seen too much of a decline in attendance to make the event feasible this year.  However...

Our team is rigorously brainstorming different ways to increase our attendance and give our Garden Tour a face lift.  We plan to be back in 2011, "Fresh as a Daisy," with a bright, new direction to invigorate the area garden enthusiasts to come out once again.  Any and all of your suggestions and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

In the meantime, Lizer will be donating all of our marketing dollars from the 2010 Parade of Ponds Tour to the NEW Zoo Children's Pond Renovation Fund.  This is a great cause and we highly recommend that, if possible, you provide a financial contribution to them as well.

Thank you for your support, and Happy Gardening in 2010!

Frank Lloyd Wright's "Falling Water," Mill Run, PA

(Sorry, not in this year's walk, but a beautiful inspiration for us all!)

Be sure to reserve a spot on your calendar for this awesome charity event!  All ticket proceeds from this years  benefit will be used to enhance the water features at the NEW Zoo. 

The Parade of Ponds is perfect for the water garden enthusiast or someone looking to get out and see beautiful private ponds, babbling brooks, and the peace and tranquility that comes from having a water feature.  We are scheduled to have 15 of Northeast Wisconsin's premier ponds on this years tour.  Designers, pond contractors and proud pond owners will be on hand to answer your questions and "show off" their works of art.

This is a self-guided tour so you can do the route any way you want.  All pond locations will be open 9-5 Saturday and 10-5 Sunday. Tickets WILL NOT be available at the pond locations, except Lizer Landscape & Nursery will have them available Saturday 8:30am-5:00pm, and Sunday until 2PM.  I suggest you buy early and plan your route.
