Your garden pond does not have to be a dark, ugly, wet hole in the ground once the plants die and the fish go dormant!
With just a little bit of imagination it can be beautiful all winter and even add to your outdoor decorations by being lit just right at night!
A few ideas:
-- Place an Angel Statue on an upside down flower pot or other platform into shallow end of pond.
-- Illuminate the statue with under-water lighting. Use green or red lenses for this special season!
-- Put rope lights around the perimeter of the pond and float a few Water Lettuce replicas inside the pond.
-- Scrunch up some red cellophane and form loosely into 6 - 8 inch balls. Float these among the Water Lettuce replicas.
-- Add a floating light or two.
-- Float 3 or 4 "Duckies" and adorn them with red ribbon around the neck and maybe even a tiny Santa hat.
With these tips and some ideas of your own your pond can be the envy of the neighborhood and a beautiful focal point for your garden even in the dead of winter.
