2023 Water Garden Tour
The 12th annual Water Garden Tour, hosted by the Greater Ottawa Water Garden Horticultural Society, was a great success. The board wishes to thank all of our hosts, and the Pond Tour Committee, for all the hard work in preparation. Thank you hosts for opening up your beautiful gardens and ponds for all of us to enjoy and get ideas from.
Finally, thanks to everyone for your support of our Water Garden Tours. Without the participation of the homeowners who open up their properties for viewing, our generous sponsors, and the retailers who sell the tickets, the Tour would not be possible. Proceeds from the Tours are directed towards community projects in the Ottawa area, such as the construction of water features at the Ronald McDonald House by CHEO, in Gayle’s Garden at the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice in Kanata, in the Healing Garden at the Queensway Carleton Hospital, and outside the Peter D. Clark Long Term Care Home.
