| Preamble |
| Building a
Water Garden
at Domaine Le Jardin des Patriotes |
In summer
2004, I got the idea to dig a small garden pond located
to east of the
country house.
The water garden is on a plateau, just before a small slope.
One dimension ends 30' X 19', the pond has a maximum 28" depth
(2' 4" ). |

wooden stakes. You can use a garden hose too. Then I removed the lawn. |

With no mechanical equipment, I began to dig with a
round shovel. The shovels
were emptied into a wheelbarrow. With this ground, I leveled part of landscape.
Here, in this picture, for a simulation, I built a small temporary pond bridge. |

The brightness is an important
factor to consider for installation place of a pond. There
should be a minimum of 6 hours of sunlight to grow plants. |
