Water Hyacinth
The water hyacinth has attractive foliage setting off its spire
of orchid-like blooms but its real value in the garden pond is
as "clean up crew". More and more is being learned
about this plant's ability to filter out impurities in water
and it is playing an important part in water purification projects
world-wide.

Attention Hughes Water Garden's Pet Lovers
 For the first time in her life, Niki Atterbury, our retail manager, found herself without a cat. This could not go on! So, with much excitement and joy, she adopted a cat from a truly wonderful shelter in the Willamette area of old West Linn, PAWS animal shelter. It was a truly wonderful experience and we would highly recommend this shelter to anyone looking for a loving addition to their family.
Paws is unique, in that the cats roam freely throughout the
shelter. They become well socialized with each other, visitors
and shelter volunteers.
PAWS Animal Shelter is a
non-profit cat adoption center in West Linn, Oregon. Our mission is to
place as many homeless cats and kittens into loving, caring homes. In
addition, we aim to educate pet owners, especially children,about
proper care for their pets. We opened our doors on June 6, 1999 and have
since found homes for over 1,000 cats, 45 dogs, 1 rabbit, 2 turtles, 1
pigeon, and a miniature horse. We
invite you to come visit us and see all the beautiful cats available for
adoption. They would certainly like to meet you!

Begin!
