Don’s Tips: Ponds

lillies in water

Ponds

At this time of the year, a relaxing garden pond would look so nice. Imagine the goldfish cruising by with their wonderful colours of red, gold, blue, black or white. And imagine also the stunning water lilies in pink, yellow, red, purple, blue & white.

Ponds are easy enough to make or you can purchase fibreglass ones as well.

To make one, go to a specialist water garden nursery and purchase a butyl (i.e. black) rubber pool liner.

Dig the hole and line it with the liner. You can put concrete over the liner or just place rocks on top of it.

The water garden nursery can sell you the water lilies – but stick mostly to the miniature varieties as the big ones can choke your pond.

– Ponds in a garden add a real touch of class and mystery to a garden.

Hooroo! Don.
