A quick and easy garden pond for one's backyard. Great idea for kids to help with on school holidays.

hose and rocks small amount of garden hose. Bush rocks
Watering can + a filter Old or new can from junkie shop. Filter from a pet store that sells gold fish.

Fill with water, attach watering can to fence and connect hose up to to so it recycles the water in pond. May need a landscaper's help or husband if he is handy with this type of thing. Attach filter if needed, can use Lilly pads to oxygenate the water
Put rocks around the pond. We added plants from around the yard also. Add gold fish and Lilly pads
