Events in the Lou!

Highlights from the 2026 Pond-O-Rama Tour!

With 23 hosts over the two-day event, Pond-O-Rama is the cheery on top of the St. Louis garden tour season cake!

There’s something for everyone on this tour where creativity and personality shine, providing plenty of inspiration and ideas to take home. Gardens and water features of every size are represented from small bubblers to over-the-top swimming ponds. What’s even better, is the plethora of knowledge and experience available for guests who have questions about their own water features or are just starting on the water gardening journey and need advice.

The annual tour is sponsored by the non-profit St. Louis Water Garden Society who uses the tour as their major fundraiser. Funds help purchase plants and supplies to maintain the Jewel Box pools in Forest Park by SLWGS members.
