Paul Holdeman, co-owner of The Pond Gnome, is a third-generation Arizona
native. Growing up in Arizona, he is an
Arizona State University alumnus, a certified
desert landscaping expert through the Desert Botanical Garden and an active member of the University of Arizona
Master Gardner program. He has developed an intimate understanding of the Sonoran Desert, particularly its riparian habitats.
In 1999, he was introduced to organic water gardens. He and his wife, Barbi, started The Pond Gnome in January 2000. Together, they began a journey that has made their company very popular with the local native plant and wildlife enthusiasts.
The Pond Gnome’s mission, to change the way Arizonans build ponds, works to help replace the natural oases that once played a huge role in providing healthy water for native and migratory wildlife as they made their way through the pre-urbanized desert.
The Pond Gnome mainly markets to people who want lush, riparian backyards and urban wildlife habitats. The company has created more than 400 sustainable, organic water sources for people — and wildlife — to enjoy.
