2020 Pond Tour Maps
MPKS Annual 2020 Garden & Pond Tour
July 18th – 19th and July 25th – 26th
The Midwest Pond & Koi Society invites you to visit our member’s gardens and ponds. This year is our 30th year of MPKS members opening their backyards to the public. The dates are July 18th, 19th, 25th, and 26th. 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 18th South
- Sunday July 19th North / Northwest
- Saturday July 25th Central
- Sunday July 26th Southwest / West
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. Please call (312) 409-2081 to place your order with a credit card.
