AN INVITING back yard pond makes exploration irresistibia. It also inspires contemplation.

Inspirational pond tour
offers a change of pace

AFTER A hectic work week
and a busy weekend imagine
how relaxed you'll feel
lounging next to a lush, water-
filled oasis in a quiet backyard.

Ksan Society’s Pond Tour

The tour even features an in-

that can be enjoyed year-round.

If you've been thinking
about building a pond of your
awn, this tour is a must.

It’s also sure to be high on
