Many of you are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our aquatic plants, but unfortunately our shipment has been delayed.

We are currently expecting to receive the plants Monday afternoon, May 11, so we are hoping to have them available for sale Tuesday morning, May 12!

To be safe, you might want to wait until later in the week or give us a call at 303.744.3505 to be sure they are available!

- New Denver Water Restrictions -

As our dry winter continues, many water districts are considering water restrictions. Denver Water announced today that they are implementing Stage 1 restrictions. What does that mean for your water feature? The Denver Water web site says for lined ponds there should be "No waste of water." For fountains and waterfalls "Customers are highly encouraged to not operate any existing outdoor fountain or waterfall that sprays water into the air." So most of your water features will not be affected by this restriction. We are also monitoring other water districts and will update you on other restrictions as they are announced.

We do certainly believe in water conservation, see the information below about minimizing water loss in your water feature. We also want you to be aware that ecosystem ponds have a very positive impact on the environment! Ponds take less water to maintain than a similar area planted in grass and they are a sanctuary for wildlife that is finding fewer & fewer place to obtain needed water.

All pond owners need to be conscious of the drought and work to minimize the impact of evaporation. How can pond owners ensure they are doing their part to conserve water?

• Inspect the pond and stream closely to be certain that any water loss is due to evaporation and not to leaks or poor pond construction.
• Minimize the amount of pond surface area exposed to the air by planting heavily with water lilies and other water plants.
• Design waterfalls properly. Multiple smaller falls will have less evaporation than one very large fall. Waterfalls that fall into a deep pool will lose water less quickly than waterfalls that splash down and across rocks below.
• Create a wind break around the pond to reduce the effects of the wind on evaporation.
• If you have a decorative water feature you might consider putting it on a timer so it only runs when you are outside to enjoy it. (Ecosystem ponds need to run continuously to maintain the biological filtration).
