I bought some pond and pond gardening books. What I plan on doing is draining the pond and seeing what it looks like under there. Cleaning it out and reshaping it. Im going to build up a bog garden on both sides. We are then going to bring in some large flat flagstones and build up a nice waterfall. It will take some work but in the end it should look like nothing it looks like now.
Hopefully.

Are you planning on putting a liner in? Unless you have a clay base where you are and I don't think you do in Lafayette, you are gonna need a liner. Or maybe there is one there already. What a job you have in front of you.

Denee, I see the varigated shell ginger in full sun in some yards around here. I will have to google it and see what I come up with.
Welcome PondLady, it is good to see a fellow Louisianian here, that makes four of us now. I am about 60 miles north of you in Livingston Parish.

I was surprised to see a Louisianian as well. Imagine meeting on a forum hosted in Scotland!
BTW, I have varigated ginger in full sun. It wilts a bit in the afternoon sun, but other than that does fine.

Actually the forum is hosted in the US (not sure exactly where). The miracles of technology

Denee, there's another lady from Prairieville, she was on for a while, but I don't see her anymore. She said she registered bc she saw my garden totems and wanted to find out more about them. Can't recall the name right off hand.
Pondlady, it's nice having more Louisiana company on here.
