The healing Pond

“This has to be the most stupid thing you’ve ever done…”

—Charlotte, when I started.

“A delightful and inspiring story behind the calamitous construction of a natural swimming pond from out of the rubble of a derelict farmyard. With the onset of a serious injury, nasty side effects, and the whims of nature, it’s a miracle this pond ever got built at all.”

My garden was a junkyard, and so too, I discovered, was my body.

I knew there had to be a better way. For just over a year, I embarked on a journey to revamp my garden, and make myself healthier and happier.

The Healing Pond is my story of building a natural swimming pond while recovering from a snapped Achilles tendon. As I tackled a steady stream of complications I began to notice a curious synergy between me and the pond...

With pictures of the build and information on the healing methods I adopted, this is how I turned everything around.

It’s also an invaluable guide if you’re considering making an organic pool. If only to avoid my long list of howling blunders.

“THIS IS BEST THING WE'VE EVER DONE”

—Charlotte, one year later.
