About Us

The Central Iowa Water Garden Association is a voluntary organization whose members are committed to expanding their individual and collective knowledge on water gardening and related topics. The Association's only goal is to provide the foundation necessary to achieve the common interest.


This organization has two chapters in addition to the parent organization: the Top of Iowa Chapter and the Capital City Chapter. Members may attend and participate in any or all chapter activities.


Feel free to browse our website and enjoy our newsletter.

Happy ponding!
