kesky's The Fishpond garden

Garden Type: Water | Sun: Partial Sun | Soil: Peat I'm Organic!

This is the first pond we made and I planted flowers around it and also put a few water plants in it. It gets full morning sun and afternoon and evening shade. Plants flourish around it I think because of the moisture. I keep the aerator going all the time because I have goldfish in it also.These photos were taken in the fall so there is not much color since everything was done blooming.I still need to get flagstone for the edges to hide the rim of the pond. Need to do a little remodeling.
