Hello from The Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, UK

[Canda]

HI all. Pleased to find this forum. My wife and I are retired and enjoying our pond but it's a fairly new venture for us. I designed and build the pond in 2016 and, together, we have slowly brought it to what it is today. I made the pergola over it and covered it with netting as there have been a few problems with herons in the area. It's pretty much finished although we still want to make the waterfall a bit more attractive. Glad to have somewhere to come to get advice when we need it and also ideas from looking at other ponds.

Welcome to the forum, Canda. You and your wife certainly have a serene backyard! Beautiful. I think you can give some of us help and pointers! Again, welcome.

Hello. I think your pond is lovely, and I also agree with Stephen that you may be giving some advice yourselves. May I ask what the rope like underwater plant is.

@Canda Nice pond and you have quite a collection of neat plants in there. That Anacharis if that's what it is looks like a forest, so cool!
