About Me

Hello, and welcome to the Koi Pond Guide! I am Lisa Lane, owner of this site.

Who am I? I live in a small town in North Carolina but before moving here I lived in Hawaii. I lived in Hawaii most of my life which is where my knowledge of ponds and Koi come from.

As a child I learned how to appreciate and respect the gifts of nature.

I love being outdoors enjoying all aspects of nature. I am a huge animal lover and along with my Koi I have a Great Dane, Boxer, Chichillas and a 15 yr old son.

I am a Massage Therapist and have taken classes in Psychology, Sociology, and Human Services. I am also an Author and a Photographer.

Why did I build a Website?

I was bored! No, I am just kidding. I built this website to to share my love of Koi with others. I hope to provide you with enough articles on Koi and Ponds that you will be able to learn something new everytime you read one. People who are first time pond builders I hope this website will fulfill your need of reference, information, help and a place you can refer to for all your pond and Koi needs.

If you would like to read more about how this website got started click here for the Site Build It page.

I am inspired by intellectual discussions, wondrous diversity and variety, Mother Nature, a good book, the teachers Abraham and Wayne Dyer, my wonderful pets, and the Universe. I love to hike, being barefoot, walks on the beach, dancing with reckless abandonment, traveling the world, the smell of fresh cut grass, the feeling of mud between my toes, watching the sun rise and set, and sleeping outside under a full moon.

I am friendly, honest, positive, supportive of others and I try to Meditate Regularly. I love to encourage people to achieve their dreams, be their best selves and live their lives with happy focus and positive intention.

My Favorite Quote: Love is my gift to the world. I fill myself with love, and I send that love out into the world. How others treat me is their path; how I react is mine.

Koi Pond Products

The Koi I have for sale on my site come from Blue Ridge Fish they are based in North Carolina where I live. The people who work there are experts about Koi. They are the ones who created the Butterfly Koi, so who better to buy Koi from then the creaters of the Butterfly Koi. You can read all about how this happened here. Origins of Butterfly Koi
