| The first 2 photos are of the pond under construction. I designed and built the pond myself, except for some help from my husband on the excavation, and he and my 2 sons helped me get and place the largest rocks. I also had help from my husband, sister, and nephew laying the liner, which was very heavy. I did all the plumbing, lighting, landscaping, building the stream, waterfalls, bog area, and bridge. I am very satisfied with my accomplishments and proud of the results. |
| My daughter Alyssa, and grandson Cory, playing in the unfinished pond. The deepest part is 3 ft, they are in the shallow side of course. |
| That's me hard at work digging the bog area. The 3 photos below are of the finished pond. They were taken in late June 2000. I began the pond in April 2000. I will update these photos this season, to show how the landscaping has grown in. |
| Water gardens are a great addition to your garden. One thing I've learned is, just let your imagination go. If you can dream it, you can build it! Two books that I found helpful were The Complete Pond Builder by Helen Nash, and Waterfalls, Fountains, Pools & Streams by Helen Nash and Eamonn Hughes. Your local library is a good place to start when looking for information on pond building. |

| The photos below show the pond later on in the summer of 2000. The landscaping has really grown in and filled up the area nicely. |
