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.
