Pond Construction

Several years ago we lived in a rental that had a pond and it became a favourite place to sit and be still, or watch the fishies. We stocked it with guppies and it was like a rainbow dancing in the water. When we moved into our forever home we decided we’d like a pond again, so when we found a fibreglass pond shell in a garage sale we grabbed it and have held onto it until our youngest was old enough to be safe around a pond.

In August 2020 we decided it was time and so construction began!

And the result! It is such a lovely spot to sit, contemplate life and watch the fishies. Unfortunately it gets too cold for guppies (it’s a smaller pond I guess) but we have several comets and a school of white cloud minnows in there, plus some cherry shrimp. The slightly submerged rock on the right side is a stone ladder that we put in incase any creatures fall in and can’t get out.

The finished pond, with Nardoo and Waterlillies, surrounded by a couple of ferns, ornamental ginger.
