About the pond tour

Just Add Water hosts self-guided water garden tours across the Des Moines Metro so you can see ponds, pondless waterfalls, and fountains up close and picture them in your own yard. A Just Add Water rep is on-site at each stop to answer questions, and the final stop, Pond Central, wraps up with food, refreshments, and time to chat with our owner and lead foreman.
