Your Garden Pond
Your garden pond does not have to
be a dark, ugly, wet hole in the
ground once the plants die and the
fish go dormant!
With just a little bit of imagination
it can be beautiful all winter and
even add to your outdoor decorations
by being lit just right at night!
A few ideas:
· Place an Angel Statue on an upside
down flower pot or other platform
into shallow end of pond.
· Illuminate the statue with
under-water lighting. Use green
or red lenses for this special season!
· Put rope lights around the perimeter
of the pond and float a few
Water Lettuce replicas inside the pond.
· Scrunch up some red cellophane and form
loosely into 6 - 8 inch balls.
Float these among the Water Lettuce
replicas.
· Add a floating light or two.
· Float 3 or 4 "Duckies" and adorn them
with red ribbon around the neck and
maybe even a tiny Santa hat.
With these tips and some ideas of your own
your pond can be the envy of the neighborhood
and a beautiful focal point for your garden
even in the dead of winter.
