Greetings!
 
If you are like most of us this year you are watching your money closer than ever. I have an interesting outlook on this thing  that everyone is calling a "Down Economy". Yes I agree that many are not splurging the $60k + on SUV's, or the 10k vacations to Hawaii, and definitely everyone is becoming more environmentally friendly. However, Instead of viewing our current economic situation as a time of distress I choose to look at it as a time of opportunity. Opportunity to spend more time in my backyard oasis enjoying family time with Rachel, Hanah and Austin. Opportunity to relax by our new pond Saturday afternoon with fiends and family. In short opportunity to enjoy family, friends, and the enjoyment that comes from spending time with those that I cherish most.
 
In this issue you will find many cost saving ideas to help you make the most out of your backyard paradise.  Until next month heres to making the most of our time and money.
Sincerely
Jeff Duggins
Garden Center News
Here at the H2O Garden Center we are anxiously awaiting spring: Green Grass, Flowering Plants, Budding Trees, and Lively Pond Life, we just can not wait. We have redesigned the Garden Center to provide our customers with new products, a relaxing atmosphere and a pleasant experience.  I look forward to seeing many of you at the numerous upcoming events we will be hosting at the Garden Center this Spring.   Just a reminder you should not feed your fish until the water temperature is above 55 degrees for at least a week or so.  Your fish may look hungry, but their bodies are not ready to take in and dispose of all those nutrients that high quality fish foods possess.  For those of you wanting to add to your fish collection, our spring fish supply will be arriving around the first of April. As our normal procedure we will quarantine our new fish for 2 weeks prior to offering them to you. We will provide you the exact date that our fish will be ready to go home in case you would like first preference on our spring fish selection.
 
For those of you looking forward to getting new plants this year, our plant selection is scheduled to be in the first part of April.   We will have most of our usual plants you have seen over the past few years and some new additions as well. Once we get a definite date for our plant delivery we will send you an update.

Sincerely
Rachel Duggins

How About A Lifetime Warranty Plan?

Even better, do you want unlimited warranties on all your pond components, or better yet never pay for another maintenance call EVER? How about free water treatments for life? Had enough? How about never having to touch string Algae again?

 All this and more is as easy as saying YES. Yes I would like to sign up for H2O Designs Regular Maintenance services. I like to refer to our Pond services as an insurance plan for your pond. Insurance that comes with added service. Does your car insurance company check your car out every other week to ensure everything is running perfectly? Do they wash your car and detail the interior every 2 weeks? Do they pay for your oil changes when needed or replace your tires when they are worn out?
 
DOES YOUR CAR INSURANCE OFFER A LIFETIME WARRANTY!!! And how much a month do you pay a month for your car insurance?

Now you may be saying to yourself that your car is a necessity and your pond is a luxury. Right? WRONG.. How many of you spend more time around your pond than you do driving your car?  Unless you travel for a living I would say 90% of you spend more time around your pond and definitely get more enjoyment from it. So why would you not invest in the future of something that you have built a lifestyle around so that you can enjoy it without worry?

 If you are interested in further information about our newly revised Regular Maintenance program please contact us ASAP or CLICK HERE to view our Maintenance Service Agreement.

Hanah's Charity "KOIner"

Coming in April:  "Lucky Ducks"
I wanted to find a way to raise money this year to help support children's charities in my community that have been brought to my attention thru church and school.  I approached my parents about my idea about a fun day festival at the store.  While putting together the fun day festival mommy and I came up with the idea of "Lucky Ducks".  We are going to have ducks in the indoor pond that you can buy the right to pick a duck. Each duck will have a pre determined prize on the bottom of the duck.  Each month I will choose the charity to support with that month's earnings from the "Lucky Ducks". The fun day festival will be planned to take place in May of this year. We will have fun and educational games geared towards kids on this day.  We look forward to seeing you and hope you will help me raise money for our local less fortunate children.
