At one end of the pond was
a huge gunnera, a superb
architectural plant!

ALL AROUND

THERE WERE

AND OTHER
INTERESTING
After our feast we moved out to their garden where
PLANTS AND there were lots of potted plants surrounding Ray and
ORNAMENTS Carol’s raised informal pond which was capped with
grey bricks and has a capacity of 5,200 gallons. Water
feeds from two bottom drains to a large brick-built four
chamber filter which delivers water back to the pond.
I noticed one of Mick Preston’s Kohaku he spawned
twelve years ago and the Beni was still looking good.
All around there were Bonsai and other interesting
plants and ornaments, at one end of the pond was a
huge gunnera, a superb architectural plant!
We chatted together about Koi, ponds, filters and
Shows, then called the raffle before our guests boarded
the minibus to return home.
It was great to share Koi keeping with the Worthing Koi
Club members and look forward to visiting them in July.
