    Re: Gifted Gift for School
    Posted by DGR on 7/17/08

    Debbie,
    I had thought about building a pond as well but was concerned
    about open water on the school grounds. Did you have any problems
    getting this approved? How large is the pond? Where is it located?
    I'd love to create a similar gardern to what you've described. Do
    you have pictures?
