The Water Garden Society of Oklahoma will hold its annual tour of some of the most lovely and interesting water gardens in central Oklahoma this weekend, June 25th and 26th, from 9 a. to 6 p. The water garden builders will be there to talk about the gardens, and tell how they did it.

Some gardens are shaded.  Some are not.  Some are beginning gardens.  Others are advanced, and,
occasionally, one has a 21' sailboat -- I haven't seen it, but it's in the description in the map book,
available at the sites listed on the wgso.org website.  They are $3.  The tour itself is free.

Two gardens in the book caught my eye: the small geometric water gardens at 11228 Springhollow Court on page 22, and the three multilevel ponds at 3516 NW 52nd Street on page 23.

Gardens are in Edmond, Bethany, northwest OKC, Choctaw, Midwest City, south OKC, Noble, and Yukon.
