How to create a pond or water feature in a garden of any size

Whether you live in the country, city or suburbs, there's plenty of scope for self-building a traditional pond 

Introducing a pond into your landscaping can be a transformative, shimmering void in the solid surfaces and breezed stirred planting, attracting birds, wild mammals and human water gazers with hypnotic certainty. 

The various sounds associated with moving water, and the indicated promise of fish, newts and pond skimming fairy creatures; it’s such a draw and can be executed as an Earthborn natural spring or as stiffly formal as a Renaissance pleasure palace.
