PROJECTS
Over the past several years Illiana Garden Pond Society has installed, maintained and helped many groups with their ponds such as Lincoln Elementary in Cedar Lake, Morton High School in Hammond, and at the Lake County fairgrounds we joined the County Steam Engine group to install the fountain at Fancher Lake.
Each year our group donates money to the Lake County Master Gardeners for their scholarship program.
Projects slated for this year are the following:
Iddings Elementary School, Merrillville, IN
Lincoln Elementary School, Cedar Lake, IN
Highland High School, Highland, IN
(All projects are repair, maintenance, or reconstruction of their ponds)
Eagle Park Community School - In 2006 Illiana Garden Pond Society members built a pond for the children of the Eagle Park Community School in Crown Point, Indiana. The school uses the pond to teach the students about caring for plants and fish in a real ecosystem . The pond has fascinated the students for years and became a great science project and teaching tool.
Wittenberg Lutheran Village - In 2005 one of our members, Pam Manwaring, was visiting The Wittenberg Lutheran Village Nursing Home in Crown Point, IN and noticed that there was a small pond that was falling into disrepair. Click on the link above to see what our members did to improve and change the look of this pond for the enjoyment of the residents.
