Montgomery County Water Garden Society
Clarksville, Tennessee
WELCOME
The Montgomery County Watergarden Society was founded in 1999 and has grown to over 100 members. We are dedicated to the further education and enjoyment of ponds and water gardening in the Clarksville, Montgomery County areas of Tennessee. The Society does not meet in November, December, January and March. Our Annual banquet takes place in February. During the Spring and Summer Months we hold monthly "POND PARTIES" which are social events held at a members home where one can look, learn and enjoy the watergardens created by others in the society. Our year culminates in our annual "WATER GARDEN TOUR" which is the only source of revenue for the organization other than membership fees.
The Montgomery County Watergarden Society is a not-for-profit organization. All funds collected and raised go to the operational expenses of the organization and to benefit its members. All officers serve on a voluntary basis. Further information may be obtained by calling 931-552-2510 or by writing to MCWS, PMB 222 - 2277 Wilma Rudolph Blvd., Suite C, Clarksville, Tennessee 37040.

Pond Owners Beware!
Several pond owners have reported that blue herons have been seen around their water gardens and their fish have disappeared. Due to the colder winter we are having, the herons regular feeding areas have been frozen over and they are looking for food wherever they can find it. Decoys such as the one pictured above are not always effective, as one heron was seen standing directly next to the decoy. Be alert for these predators.
