| Water gardens have always been places of refuge, sanctuaries of peace, tranquility and beauty. For this reason, it is important that you create a pond that reflects your personality as well as it reflects the blooms that surround it. After all, a water garden should do more than complement its surroundings, it should complement you, your lifestyle and your senses. |
| Therefore, it is important to realize the tremendous thematic versatility of water gardens. |
| Looking for something free-flowing and natural? Spontaneous shoreline, irregularly-shaped rocks and indigenous plants and wildlife will help create a habitat of natural wonder and beauty. |
| Your personality and environment may require a more formal body of water. If so, geometric pond shapes, along with materials such as brick, cinder block or concrete help to maintain an element of order and symmetry within the natural beauty of any garden. |
| Deep, still reflection pools magnify the brilliant color of surrounding blossoms and foliage. Japanese gardens, with their islands, stepping stones and hidden shoreline, add a wealth of symbolism and illusion to your environment. Whimsical, tropical and other exotic themes can be created using a variety of different ornaments and plant life. Even desert settings can be achieved with sand, cactus and other foliage. |
| Within the wonderful realm of water gardening, virtually any theme imaginable can be created, maintained with relative ease, and enjoyed for years to come. |
