My wife and I built our home in 1990 and have wanted to build a garden pond in our backyard for many years. In the spring of 2005 our wish finally came true when we completed the first phase of our garden and pond area. With much time and hard work by my wife and help from our oldest son we completed a boulder retaining wall and cleaned out a very over-grown flower garden. While my wife worked on the flower garden area I worked on cleaning and setting up the pond. We purchased a few water plants from a local greenhouse and added a pump for a fountain.
At last, we have a tranquil, beautiful place to sit and read or just watch the life in the pond, birds and humming birds fly around our garden pond.
We started thinking about this coming spring and the next steps we want to take to improve our garden pond and flower garden area. I started looking around on the Internet at all the companies that supply garden pond, water garden, flower garden products and supplies. I decided that I would share our own exploration into the world of garden pond and water garden products and information with others by creating this web site.
Visiting some of the web sites of suppliers for pond liners, water garden pumps, water fountains, garden pond kits, pond lighting, water filtering and all of the hundreds of other associated items I have found many wonderful photos of water gardens and garden ponds that others have created. Our little garden pond creation looks pretty plain next to many of them but it gives us joy as we work on ours.
If you have a nice digital photo of your own garden pond or water garden project that you would like to share with others, I would love to post it here on our site. Just drop me an email with a description of your project, location and attach the photo and I will create a gallery page for posting them.
Also, if you are a supplier for any products or installation services for garden ponds water gardens, suppliers of goldfish or Koi, or any other related products such as bird feeders, gardening tools, water lilies or other water plants, please email me with your web site URL and I’ll be glad to add you to my listings.
We hope you find this site interesting and helpful as you create your own place of solitude and relaxation at your home or business with a garden pond or water garden.
