This self guided tour will feature ten unique backyard settings that best utilize available space. These homeowner's yards express their personalities, hobbies and interests along with various garden and aquatic plants to the sculpturing artistry of the bonsai. Yards will include water features and ponds up to 7,000 gallons that provide the homeowners with their very own paradise.
Upon purchasing wristbands a tour booklet will be given containing a description of each yard and a map to the homes. KOI Cops (MKPC Club members) will be at each location to handle questions. Tour wristbands and Tour Booklets can be purchased the day of the tour at the Royal Oak Senior/Community Center located at 3500 Marais. The Center is on Marais two blocks north of 13 Mile Rd between Crooks and N. Main St. For further information contact Ron Kardynski at 734-646-7607.
Special Thank You to our Sponsor-The Pond Place located at 3505 W. Highland Rd. (M-59), Milford, MI 48380.
The MKPC was formed in 1996 by a small group seeking information about the care and maintenance of their watergardens and their fish. The interest in our hobby has grown and our membership has grown. The MKPC seeks to promote fish keeping and watergardening through educational opportunities and events, and by providing a forum for people to gather and share their concerns and their successes. An added benefit - the events are fun. Read about our past events on the website then check out the MKPC calendar for the present year. There is a collective wealth of experience and knowledge in our group as well as a feeling of great enjoyment for our watergardens and fish and the wildlife that is drawn to our yards.
There is no requirement to have a watergarden in order to join us. Someone may choose to join in order to learn about the hobby before digging their first pond. Membership entitles you to receive our newsletter and the opportunity to attend all of the events. Membership fees are used to fund events and provide speakers. I encourage you to check MKPC out. Updates regarding MKPC and our events are on our website. Simply contact us for questions and information via the website or come to an event. Come share experiences with fellow ponders - we learn from each other.
