What's your pleasure? A sparkling pool? A babbling brook? A tumbling waterfall? For many, the makings of a water garden require little more than a pump, some water and an idea. For others, however – those with visions of water lilies and perhaps a goldfish or two – a little more effort is required. This requires creating your very own ecosystem. An environment so rich in life, that it will likely become the most beautiful and alluring aspect of your garden – and quite possibly, the most rewarding. |
| Before you jump into water gardening with both feet, Little Giant recommends learning as much as you can. Visit a botanical garden to learn how successful ponds are created and built. Next, study your yard. Watch how the sunlight travels across it and how the rain and groundwater flows over the land. Then decide what kind of Little Giant water garden you wish to create – its purpose and style. Finally, draw up a plan. Engage in this kind of thought, reflection and patience and you'll be rewarded with more than a simple water garden, you'll have a true sanctuary. |
