Whether you’re a wildlife watcher, photographer, or just enjoy living in harmony with nature, this workshop is for you.  A well-built and organically kept pond or water garden can be the perfect addition to a natural desert environment. In addition to being cost effective, water efficient, and low maintenance, a pond offers an enjoyable, relaxing, and entertaining alternative to a lawn. Paul Holdeman, licensed landscape contractor and owner of The Pond Gnome, will explain how to build and sustain a small organic pond or water feature using native plants and good Xeriscape principles including capturing and recycling stormwater.
