President’s Message
The Idaho Water Garden and Koi Society (IWGKS) is a not-for-profit
organization that was formed in 1990 by a handful of people who wanted to
promote the hobby they all enjoyed. Water gardening, was their main
focus, yet also included were aspects of Koi and Goldfish care and the
aesthetics of pond design.
From that beginning nearly 20 years ago, the faces
have changed but the goals have remained the same: to promote water
gardening and to educate people who are interested in the hobby. The
membership has grown from that handful of people to nearly 100 members.
We have gone from informal gatherings, to beginning each year with a
“Kick-Off” dinner, monthly meetings, a monthly newsletter, and an annual
pond tour and Koi and Goldfish show.
As a club we have worked on several projects around
Boise and the Treasure Valley of Idaho including, building a pond at the
Idaho Botanical Gardens; planting water lilies and aquatic plants in
Kathryn Albertson Park; and conducting an annual cleanup of the ponds at
The Boise Depot. At this last venue we also care for the water lilies and
have been instrumental in adding named water lilies and Koi to the pond.
We invite anyone interested in ponds or the keeping
of Koi and Goldfish to contact the Idaho Water Garden and Koi
Society. As you visit this website enjoy the pictures of our ponds
and fish.
