Poposoap, a leading provider of solar-powered pond and fountain solutions, recently partnered with the Austin Pond Society (APS) as an official sponsor for its January 2026 member event, themed “Fascinating Hummingbirds and How to Help Them Thrive”. Held at the Zilker Botanical Gardens Auditorium in Austin, Texas on Jan. 19, 2026, the gathering brought together over 40 APS members for an engaging evening of learning and community building.
Poposoap’s presence at the event was met with enthusiastic feedback. The brand’s innovative fountain products drew significant attention from APS members, who praised their functionality, eco-friendly solar design, and suitability for small-scale backyard ponds and bird baths. BJ, Poposoap’s on-site representative, also distributed product samples for member trials, fostering hands-on engagement with the brand’s offerings.
The highlight of the event was a captivating presentation by Chris Gunter, a native Austinite with 40+ years of birding experience, Master Birder, and Master Naturalist. Gunter’s talk delved into Austin’s resident and wintering hummingbird species, with a key focus on how thoughtfully designed backyard water features and ponds play a critical role in attracting and supporting these delicate birds. Attendees gained practical insights into creating bird-friendly aquatic spaces that blend aesthetic appeal with ecological value.
This sponsorship aligns with Poposoap’s commitment to advancing water gardening education – a core mission shared with the Austin Pond Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting pond construction, maintenance, and aquatic plant and fish care since 1991.
Looking ahead, Poposoap remains eager to collaborate with the Austin Pond Society and its members, continuing to support initiatives that bridge the gap between beautiful backyard water features and sustainable wildlife habitats.
