Water gardens can add beauty, charm and a feeling of serenity to any landscape project. They can be created simply by using a watertight container on your patio or porch. They can also be designed in larger, in-ground ponds.
A water garden typically consists of Floating Plants, Marginal Plants, and Submerged Plants. It can include a Fountain or other Statuary as well as a selection of fish such as Goldfish and/or Guppies. Maintaining the best water quality requires the right mix of plants.
There are a number of online sources that can be used to research which options would be best for you.
