lily pond

Garden water feature

A lily pond is a small body of still water, typically in a garden or park, where water lilies grow.

These ornamental ponds are designed to showcase the floating leaves and flowers of lilies, often alongside other aquatic plants and fish like koi or goldfish.

The term evokes images of tranquil garden settings, famously depicted in Monet's paintings.

We sat by the lily pond watching the dragonflies.
