Hi Every0ne Interested in these gardens--
Lilypons and Van Ness have excellent advice on how to do one of these
ponds. Even though mine is natural, I read these wishing my pond was as
easy to plant and take care of as these are. Local pet stores usually
have brochures on ponds you build if they carry fish.
