You never forget your first....

This is a view of my very first pond.  I planned for a long time, then one day just went outside with a shovel and started digging that hard Missouri clay!  Took me about 2 weeks, early morning till late most nights.  I made many mistakes, most of them I realized ahead of time, and went forward anyway.  All in all, I loved the pond.  Spent many many hours out there, just relaxing on the lawn swing and watching all the life in and around the garden.  You never forget your first...

    1. Give me an idea of what he is interested in having, and I can help you out. Does he mainly want just a water feature? Moving water, as in waterfall? Interested in growing fish? Interested in prize plants?
