The crowd of 110 participants enjoyed Pond
Workshop 101 at Oregon Garden in Silverton. The day...crisp and cold and
sunny...welcome pond owners and professionals from throughout the state. The
only problem was the sunny day which conflicted with indoor power point
presentations. In Oregon, you get your choice...power point or a sunny day. |
