One of our residents returning home, assisted by Kevin (the koi whisperer).

All the koi were relocated back to the pond this afternoon and seem very happy with their newly cleaned accommodations. Huge thank you to the staff at Cape Fear Water Gardens for leading this endeavor.

We invite you to stop by and check it out - but please remember the koi are not to be fed during the winter.
