We just put in a 150 gal pond and I really need ideas for landscaping and aqua-scaping in and around it. We have moved from a shady to a sunny residence and the only plants I brought with me were the palm sedge?, waterlilies, and irises. I will be trading for the other plants I need this spring. If anyone has pictures or ideas, please post. I will appreciate it soooo much!

I hope this forum isn't just for Japanese gardens, if so, please let me know that too.

Here is a pic of the pond after we have finished this past week. We haven't added topsoil yet. That side of the house faces south but the pond will get morning shade on one side from the porch and house and on west side some evening shade from the garage which is a short distance from it on the other. It will get full sun from ~11:00am until 4:00 pm

Oh! The existing plants can be moved, there is a banana tree near the faucet to the right of the landscape timber. We took out a couple of the existing timbers.
