Thanks for visiting my website. I'm Doug Green, a semi-retired nurseryman and award winning garden author. When it comes to backyard ponds, I've built several for myself (from really tiny to football-field size) over my garden years and I'm about to launch another one in my new home garden (it's under design and will be featured here when I start building). So what I'm writing here comes from my own training, experience and background.

I work on this water gardens information site to bring you the best practical information and answer your questions so you can enjoy your pond and have a great experience with it - I hope you find what you're looking for here so your dream garden pond landscape can come true.

Solving problems is also what the site is about - from algae to pump sizing I've put real information on these pages (and not trying to sell you any products or plants from a business website).

If you want other gardening information, use the "more topics" link in the top right hand corner or search through over 6000 pages by using the search box found in the lower right of each page.

You'll also find Q&A forms scattered throughout the site where you can ask questions or even answer them from other gardeners. I hope you take advantage of them.

Again, thanks for visiting and I hope what I've written here can help you in some small way.

All the best

Doug
