August — John Magyar, owner of Universal Aquatics, was our guest speaker at our August 15th meeting. John’s presentation of “All Things Water Features” from fountains to waterfalls to koi and goldfish ponds, exploring different designs for your backyard was extremely informative. The water features they’ve built are beautiful and they inspired ideas for our own yards! John has worked in the water feature industry for 25 years. Universal Aquatics specializes in backyard water feature installation, repair and maintenance. This includes installing or repairing koi ponds, waterfalls, water fountains, pondless waterfalls and more. For further information you can contact John through their website at Universal Aquatics.

Bluebird Grant Workshop May 24th 2022
Seventeen of us had a great morning at the Community Garden at Snellville learning how to make predator guards for bluebird houses. These guards prevent raccoons, squirrels, and snakes from reaching the nests. Terry Dempsey (GPLT) and Carol Hassell (GCMGA & GPLT) let the teaching and all of us shared in the different parts of building these guards. This year’s grant was part two of raising awareness of the importance – and enjoyment – of having bluebirds in our environment. The houses were built last year in July. The Community Garden received a second bluebird house and it was installed today by Wes Nettleton and Martha Whitman. Other houses are going to other community gardens, butterfly gardens, parks and schools. Related Images:
