We're a non-profit group with a membership in Western Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut focused on creating beauty and peace in our own backyards by building and maintaining water gardens. A water
garden can take on many
appearances. Some have fountains -- others have waterfalls or winding
streams. All abound with plant life, fish, frogs, and attract backyard
wildlife including butterflies and birds. |
