From the President:

On behalf of the members of the South Carolina Koi and Water Garden Society I would like to welcome you to our small corner of piscatorial cyber space.  The South Carolina Koi and Water Garden Society is located in the Upstate of South Carolina.

Our goal is to promote the hobby of keeping and breeding Koi and pond fish, as well as encouraging an  interest in aquatic plants and water gardening.   

 We are a diverse group representing a wide range of gardeners. Some of us raise and breed Koi and goldfish while others have water gardens and specialise in growing plants that live in or near water. Some of us do both and have Koi and goldfish in our water gardens. We meet monthly, generally at the home of a member. We all bring a dish to share and enjoy a brief formal program of interest to our members.

 Each year we sponsor a Pond Tour when some of our members welcome the community to visit their ponds. Some ponds are smaller than one hundred gallons, while others exceed ten thousand gallons! Some “ponds” are really waterfalls with no pond. (Have you been on a vacation near the water and thought how nice it would be to hear the sound of a waterfall at your home?)

 You do not need to have a water garden to join our group. All you need is some curiosity. Dues are minimal. For additional information, contact us at the e-mail address below.
