The 2011 Ottawa Water Garden Festival will be held on Saturday, July 9th from 9:00AM until dusk. Our annual pond tour and cash BBQ (at the Bott Residence, 20 Muskoka Drive in Chelsea, QC) will be held throughout the day. On Saturday evening, everyone is invited to gather together for music, swimming, fun and games! The Bott’s will also be opening their pond for swimming to ticketed guests on the pond tour!

Work your way around the city! Beginning with several beautiful ponds in the west end of Ottawa and work your way over to the east and to Quebec to cap off the pond tour at the Bott residence!

The positive feedback from everyone involved just keeps pouring in. In 2008, June Hansen wrote saying, “I just wanted to thank you and your organizers for sponsoring such a fabulous weekend. We came out, at the end of the day, extremely motivated and inspired. It was such a welcome change to be among so many people that shared the same wonderful hobby and who willingly opened their wealth of knowledge to others".

Admission for the tour portion of the festival is $20.00 per person (no food included, however there will be a cash BBQ available all day at the Bott residence).

All other events are free.
