Hello everyone! My name is Candice, I'm from Ada oklahoma. My boyfriend and I just bought a house in the country! Were hoping to build a good sized garden pond once the weather starts getting nice. Were wanting to learn all we can now, that way we will be better able to make smart choices when we start building. :)

Do you want a water garden with a few goldfish or a koi pond?

Thanks guys! I think for right now we're going to start with goldfish. I've heard koi like perfect water, I think we need some experiance under our belts first lol.

I do know we want a pretty big pond, with a good sized waterfall. We also want it to be natural looking. I also like the idea of a somewhat asian theme, with the small maple trees and stuff.
