Luxury, relaxation, and inspiration. What more could you want from your backyard? In medieval times in Europe, a statement piece of many castles and monasteries were their beautiful fish ponds – still common, especially in Japan, where you can find a multiplicity of koi ponds. Claude Monet, a notable figure in art history, spent the later years of his life painting a series of about 250 oil paintings depicting the lily and flower ponds in his garden.
Ponds are a beautiful and relatively inexpensive way to decorate your backyard, front yard, or garden. A pond can provide a habitat for countless species and bring a relaxing atmosphere to your home.
