A selection of smaller garden ponds
We have known a pond 10 ft x 6 ft to be described as a big pond and a pond 30 metres x 20 metres described as a small lake. Neither description would seem to be correct to us. Is everything relative? In this gallery there are a few smaller ponds, semi-formal in nature, each designed to fit in a smaller space.
