Victoria Educational Gardens Water Feature ONE

VEG's first water feature was the central focus of the Children's Garden.  It is a round, concrete fish/lily pond with a metal water fountain feature, designed by Barbara Sparkman.  Photo by Don Mader

After the concrete was poured for the water pond, walkways were added, to leading to the four sections of The Children's Garden. Photo by Marce Lucke

After beginning construction in May of 2002, the fish pond was ready for the Grand Opening in May of 2003.  Members here celebrate the Grand Opening with participants from the community.  Photo by Don Plowman

In 2007, the Fish/Lily Pond was mature enough for Victoria County MGs to divide the lilies for transplanting in the Tropical Koi Pond.  Photo by Nancy Kramer
