Club Activities and Resources
The
Gainesville club, affectionately called "The Pondhoppers", was founded in 1987.

appreciation in the hobbies of Koi Keeping and Water Gardening. The club
provides information on all aspects of these hobbies using our members and local
experts as resources for answers to questions about Koi Keeping, designing and
maintaining ponds, and providing a healthy habitat for aquatic life.
