Appreciation post: My trip to the Atlanta Botanical Garden last spring

I got so excited pointing out a rare orchid that I walked straight into a decorative pond, phone in pocket. Now I always check my footing before geeking out over flora, anyone else have a clumsy plant moment?

That's a pretty funny story but honestly, was the pond that deep? Sounds like a minor splash, not a full on disaster.

Read an article last year about a guy who slipped into a garden pond. He thought it was shallow too, but he hit a submerged rock and broke his ankle. Water depth can be really misleading, especially with mud and stuff you can't see. What looks like a small splash can definitely turn into a full disaster.
