The Wooden Pondby The Hillbilly Dude

A garden that failed.
A old tarp. A water hose.
Transformed into joy.

#HillbillyHaiku

★ If your garden flops, don’t throw in the towel. Throw in a tarp - you might just invent your own wooden pond. ★

Origin

This haiku comes from the true story of a hillbilly pool - where a tarp, some boards, and a hose turned a ruined garden bed into summer fun for the kids.
