I wrote about the pond in our backyard long ago. We did most all the work ourselves. Here is my original post: https://movingforwardslowly.com/2016/07/21/the-flower-pond/
I did not bother with any pictures back then. However, I am a big believer in giving a visual story along with words. I will first show a picture of our backyard before the pond.
We dug a hole with a great deal of difficulty since there had been a tree in that spot. We rented a stump grinder and my husband battled with the roots. We put in a nine-foot diameter fiberglass pond. I wanted to grow water lilies and other aquatic plants.
The pond today in August 2023 still functions as a fertile aquatic garden. Over the years I have posted several pictures of the pond. Today some wild reclamation is happening with the surrounding area. I am still deciding what I want to do at this point. I will most likely wait until early spring to change things. In the meantime, the birds are still enjoying the fountain bowl.
