Adding a garden pond to your  yard can benefit you in more ways than one. In our yard we have a lot of low lying water that has no where to go. This is when I decided, "lets dig a pond."

A pond would also be neat for fishing in the summer and ice skating in the winter if you live in the northern states.

After looking on Pintrest I realized there are many different ways to make a pond! We have a lot of creative people in this world.

There are many benefits to having a pond in your yard.

Below I have attached a few images of ponds that I found on Pintrest and wanted to share.

Looking at all the DIY creative garden paths on our Facebook page has inspired me to give it a try. 

I have seen many beautiful DIY walk ways made out of a collection of rocks, broken concrete, marbles, and more! My first step is to start collecting my creative materials.

With a little searching I have found directions on how to put in my own garden path. I also watch a lot of DIY network.

They are always tearing up back yards and laying walk ways.

I have been on Craigs List a lot! If you go under the free section you might get lucky. I see a lot of free broken up concrete.

The trick to this is you want one side to be flat so that it is easy to lay.

I have also thought about using the following:

golf balls, river rocks, glass bottle

bottoms (bottoms facing up and tops cemented down

(be very careful not to cut yourself!)), sliced treated tree stumps, or old plates.

The list is just my thoughts as well as some of the ideas I came across on Facebook and Pintrest.

Making your own DIY  garden path can be really fun!

Get your kids involved and have them help you.

The idea is to get creative and make it personal.
