Bob & Sue Diller's home & water garden, 170 Springdale Lane, Millersville PA., 717-871-0144. Tom Garman gave a presentation on Landscaping For Your Pond.

Take Rt 999 in and through Millersville. From 999 turn left onto Duke Street. Go 1/4 mile to Charlotte Street, turn right. Make the first left onto Springdale Lane. Go approximately 1/2 mile. House is on the left (3 houses past Burr Oak Drive).

Here are photos of Bob & Sue's pond. It was built for them by Jim Pontz of Pontz Landscape Service, Inc.

Notice the mono-filament that they have stretched  back and forth over their pond to try and discourage the Evil Herons that plaque us all!    

   

Notice their great deck and screened-in porch in the distant background.	Notice the wide open spaces in the back yards and the great landscaping with flowers and shrubbery.
This is Tom Garman. He operates a landscaping business. He talked to us about how to landscape your pond and garden area. Tom gave us all some hand-outs that contained a summery of his presentation and an extensive list of different types of plants and flowers and how they should be used in the garden.	This is the water-return, or water fall that comes from the filter/skimmer box. they have over 2800 gpm water flow.
Now, here's the ideal solution for folks with not too much room.... a Porch Pond!!	Thanks, Bob & Sue for a great evening! Tom was an exceptionally experienced landscaper and shared his many years of knowledge with us.
Here's some of the information that was on the hand-outs that Tom gave to us...... If any of you have pictures of any of these plants, Email them to me so I can include them. I'll set up a link between the plant's name and the picture of the actual plant... as I have done for the "Geranium" below. Also, if any of you know the "common" name for these listings, let me know and I'll add that.
