A garden pond is a wonderful place to relax anytime of the day or night!<\/p>\n

Our garden pond was built in 2001, then moved it to its current location, just a few feet away,\u00a0in 2013 during the home renovation and new addition.\u00a0The new pond size\u00a0offered the fish more room to swim! We have Koi, Fantail Goldfish,\u00a0Shubunkin Goldfish, Comets, and a few others that have been born in the pond that we are still trying to identify!<\/p>\n

Blooms and Landscaping in Garden Ponds<\/h2>\n

Perennials and shrubs such as Loropetalum, roses and hydrangeas surround the pond. The\u00a0pond is filled with shade plants that provide shelter from the sun and\u00a0protection from\u00a0prey for the fish. There are also\u00a0water lilies and a beautiful lotus plant that was placed in the original pond and continues to bloom year after year.<\/p>\n

Filtering System for Garden Ponds<\/h2>\n

A biological filtering system was added in 2012 that makes maintenance a breeze. The system cleans the water of toxic gases and ammonia as it constantly circulates the water. Healthy pond, healthy fish.<\/p>\n

Personalities of Fish in the Garden Pond<\/h2>\n

We have learned that our fish actually have personalities! They each have earned a name due to their behavior. One is named Dale, Jr. Can you imagine why? He is fast and speedy through the water!<\/p>\n

Enjoy the pictures and if you are interested in more information about building and maintaining your own Garden Pond, please contact us. We have learned from our mistakes!<\/p>\n
