Charge admission! It can help fund the next addition you make to your pond.
Better yet - advertise the place as a background for wedding photos! If the wedding photo business there is anything like it is here, people will pay to get their photos done in such a beautiful place.

I HAVE thought of that but also being the photographer problem is we have a nice man made falls in town no flowers but a great back drop the other thought was book reading clubs and yoga

Oh yes -- the love/hate relationship with the wildlife is a real thing.
Oh my gosh - the crazy weather right before filming - yikes! I would have been stressed, too!
It all looked beautiful, though! Proof that all your excellent planning and construction can withstand Mother Nature in a bad mood.
You know who my dream pond visitor would be? Ed the Pond Professor! He is such a nature nut, it would be fun to talk ecosystems with him.
This is what the pond looked like a week latter after the plants all revived themselves. Greg never saw the pond in its prime. Such is life. It was still a great experience. Meeting and receiving praise and recognition from someone who probably has seen more man made ponds than anyone.
I may meet Ed this winter I'm debating about taking the aquascape advanced class taught by Ed and Brian.

@j.w You don't want to see that list. And you certainly don't want to help . I have more in my shop than any 6 people have in their home.
