Garden Ponds and Fountains

Pete recently finished his new garden pond. He learned how to design and build a pond at a workshop given by a local contractor.

The pond has a rippling stream that winds through rocks found in the nearby Cascade mountains. Dianne will be adding even more plants to the edges of the pond, so it will blend into the surrounding landscape.

If you can’t find a pond building workshop near you, perhaps your local water garden supplier offers classes. You can also learn the art of backyard pond building from one of the excellent books that are now available.

On of our favorites is Simple Gardens for Indoors and Outdoors, by Dorcas Adkins.
