Family Project - Water Garden

After years of dreaming of having a water garden God has provided by giving us a used water garden liner at an unbelievable price. My dream was to have a waterfall and possibly a fountain as I love fountains:-) It looks as though I am going to have both!

This is exciting for me as we have not had any flowerbeds at this house. Our house has beautiful mature scrubs out front, but no real place for a nice flowerbed. Now we will have the perfect place for a beautiful flowerbed. In addition, we hope to use the water garden to help reroute the drainage in the backyard to keep the basement from flooding into the boys bedroom.

This month we went to Mississippi to visit Rusty's folks and while we were there they gave me a frog fountain for our water garden. Saturday we went shopping for a water garden pump and found one that not only operated a fountain but also had the parts for a waterfall!

Andrew, Peter, and Rusty worked hard on Saturday and Monday to dig the hole for water garden. I think it is coming along real nice.

Watch for updates on how the water garden is coming.
