Pond Perfect
Create a backyard water retreat
by Barbara K. Iverson

“If there is magic on the planet, it is in the water,” according to educator and nature writer Loren Eisley, who credited part of his interest in nature to spending hours enjoying a natural pond near his childhood home in Nebraska.

But you don’t have to live in the countryside to enjoy the serenity of a pond. More and more urban residents are making their own water magic by creating backyard ponds.
