hat do I like best about my pond? I can’t choose just one thing but these are some of my favorite benefits of pond ownership:


• The anticipation of spring after a long winter, the koi come out of their cave like the ground hog comes out of his hole.


• The pond constantly feeds my imagination. As a somewhat creative person, I find that the pond is like a painting that is never


finished and I can always improve on it.


• The wildlife! The frogs, salamanders, dragon flies, fish snails, different birds (even the occasional visit from a heron lights up my kids’ eyes).


• The smile on my wife’s face as she watches our kids explore, discover, imagine and learn.


• The heavenly feeling of relaxation in the early morning I have as I sit with my cup of coffee before anyone in the house has woken.


• The indescribable feeling of relaxation I have as the moon rises, the sun sets and the underwater lights light up the pond and cast moving shadows against the house and the different trees.

couldn't imagine life without a water feature. As a lifelong pond and aquarium hobbyist, water has always been an integral part of who I am as a person. It all started with a 10-gallon aquarium in my bedroom as a child and blossomed into a lifelong career and passion. The size of my aquarium also grew from 10 gallons into a 200 gallon saltwater reef aquarium and our newest addition, a beautiful self-built basalt column fountain as the main focal point when walking into my home. My wife often comments on the huge diversity of wildlife that uses our fountain for bathing or taking a well deserved drink of water on hot summer days, I guess she is hooked as well. I would like to personally welcome you to the Aquascape family and the water gardening lifestyle!

cott and I built our first water garden almost 20 years ago. What started as a way to expand our gardening into the world of aquatic plants, has


become the centerpiece of our backyard where we spend much of our free time. We still enjoy the plants, but we've also fallen in love with the fish.
