The sight and sound of water have a calming
and soothing influence that has captivated
mankind since before we began our gardening
efforts. Adding water to a decorative garden
-- in the form of either a simple water feature
or an entire water garden -- multiplies a
garden's sensory pleasure: the play of light
on water can be enchanting, the spray of
a water fountain can cool the air, and the
pleasing splashes of even a small waterfall
can mask undesirable noise. Add a pool for
fish and you have added fascinating and undemanding
pets to the mix.
Water features in a garden can be as simple
as a small container filled with water for
birds to drink or as elaborate as a large
pond. Modern technology makes it easy to
add water features to your garden and provides
so many ways of doing it that there is no
limit to what your imagination can achieve
-- regardless of the size of your garden.
Use the advice in our water garden
articles
listed below to help you plan
and build your
own uniquely beautiful water
feature that
will give you unending years
of pleasure.
