MPKS Annual 2022 Garden & Pond Tour

July 16^th – 17^th   and  July 23^rd – 24^th   

The Midwest Pond & Koi Society invites you to visit our member’s gardens and ponds. This year is our 31^st year of MPKS members opening their backyards to the public. The dates are July 16^th, 17^th, 23^rd, and 24^th. The hours are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on each of the 4 days.

The Garden and Pond Tour is divided into regions to help minimize the travel time and increase your enjoyment of leisurely visiting the gardens and ponds. The Tour is self-guided, so you may pick and choose to visit one or all of the many beautiful gardens and ponds listed.

The four regions are:

• Saturday       July 16^th      Central Region
• Sunday         July 17^th       Southwest / West Region
• Saturday       July 23^rd      South Region
• Sunday         July 24^th      North / Northwest Region

For each region, there is a map(s) indicating all the participants in the region. Following the region map(s) is a descriptive narrative of each garden and pond. This includes the address and a description of the garden and pond, along with directions on how to get to the address.

The garden and pond tour maps are available for purchase at the vendors listed on the MPKS website. The cost is $20.00 per family and allows you to tour all four days.

Pond tour maps may also be purchased directly from MPKS.
