About the Florida East Coast Koi and Water Garden Society

Our club members are engaged in the hobbies of keeping Koi and/or goldfish, and water gardening.  Our meetings are pond side social gatherings that enable the exchange of information and the presentation of educational programs on a variety of pond related topics. 

During the year speakers are invited to talk to members about special topics.  While it is not always possible, we try to serve both the Koi and water gardening areas equally.  Most of our members, but not all, have ponds and most reside in Flagler, Volusia, Lake, and Brevard counties. 

The club formed in January of 1998 prior to the first Orlando koi show.  Our club has been a participant of this annual event since the beginning.  The nearest club in those days was the Central Florida Koi Club, now known as the Orlando Area Koi and Pond Club.  The club recently celebrated our 7th Anniversary at the January meeting. 

Our group is a member club of the Associated Koi Clubs of America, publishers of the bi-monthly KOI USA magazine and other helpful information in the form of books, guideline booklets, and videos.  The AKCA provides trained certified Koi judges available to judge club sponsored Koi shows and Koi Health Advisors to help owners troubleshoot pond problems.  The AKCA sponsors awards recognizing each club's Koi Person of the Year, and the best pick of each club's fish for the Koi of the Year photo award.
