I can’t believe that Friday is the 4th of July and I haven’t finished my water garden. It’s been a very busy spring! Between caring for my one year old grandson and doing the usual spring clean up in the yard I haven’t had time to concentrate on my special project. Water gardens provide a pleasant source of sound and a sparkling focal point when incorporated into the landscape.
Before considering a large water garden with a fountain, waterfall, stream, and a variety of fish and plants, make a starter garden first. Starter gardens are more manageable and require less than an hour of maintenance every few weeks. I am incorporating a fountain into a small existing bed with a few small shrubs and ferns in the surrounding area. You’ll find that a small-scale project offers experience helpful when tackling a larger project later.
You can make a water garden with a fountain that’s formal or informal. A fountain is the logical choice for small yards or patios and mini gardens since they all provide a point of interest in a courtyard or in a tiny space outside of an apartment.
With my gardening maintenance caught up, I can now devote more time to my water project. Enjoy the Holiday!
