The Watergarden

This was actually our very first foray into the world of ponds. It was originally intended to be placed into the ground like a normal pond, but instead it was set up "above-ground" and there it has remained. At some point the plants and fish from this pond will be relocated to the "real" inground watergarden pond, and this hard liner will be incorporated into the filtration system.

The initial hard liner pond, shown in the fall of 2000. Winter 2000 Dawn got worried about the temperatures and moved the pond plants and its two shubunkin residents into our downstairs clawfoot tub, where they lived throughout the winter until June 2001.	Have I mentioned how happy I am that they are no longer in the tub?
	Update on the small pond! We have babies! We have seven baby shubunkins, healthy and happy.
Beautiful water lily!	Well, I can see the fish, or maybe that's just wishful thinking.
