oh that was a lovely pond and garden ... have you seen it for real mrsh ?

[Mrshkoiluver]

No, but I would love to. Lots of great ideas. I live in Colorado and it is dry here so I am going to try and use plants from our area which survive in dryer climates. I want to go on some garden pond tours in Colorado Springs to get some more ideas.

its nice to see other ponds ...we dont have pond tours here in the uk which is a great shame !

Stroppy, you could pioneer "Pond Tours in the UK". I bet you could get Ian (our Administrator) to help promote it.

Who knows, in 3 years when I retire, I might be on one of them.

I think Stroppy is looking for on site tours. If none exist in the UK, it is an opportunity for him to start it. While he is at it, some video would be expected to be posted here.

Come on Stroppy, now is your chance to be a first.

Stroppy, you can do virtual pond tours through the net.

will be doing ponds video in the spring koiguy, when the raised pond is finished ..well i wont cause i dont have a video but will get my daughter to give you all a tour !!
Dr Dave, Stroppy is a she not he
and i would love to start up something like a tour but not encluede my pond as its nothing special, but most of my time is taken up with caring for my son ...some days its hard to find much time to even look after the home and garden
will look into koi magazine and check out for tours,but again dont get too much free time ...think thats why i so love to see videos and pics of all your ponds

[koiguy1969]

there is hundreds if not thousands of pond videos on youtube...you can find them under: koi ponds backyard ponds goldfish ponds garden ponds and indoor ponds and KOI magazine is the U.Ks premier ponding magizine i'd bet they sponsor tours.

[stroppy]

i will take a look on youtube and the koi mag ...thank you koiguy

[DrDave]

Sorry stroppy, :frown:I thought this was a guys name. Where does it come from?

[stroppy]

its a nick name for someone that gets annoyed easily ..... like when my daughter was in her teans i was always calling her stroppy !!! and it kind of stuck as a nickname when i first started useing my pc ... silly really because im quite the opposite
