Would like to make a little pond in the garden with three or four goldfish,

No and no. You might want to lurk about rec.ponds a bit.
I'm guessing garden shops there have preformed plastic ponds that are
decent if a bit small.
One hardy water lily can easily span six feet, though there are smaller
varieties.
With a decent amount of plants and not too many fish, you can avoid pumps,
filtration and all that stuff.
