Water Gardening
Water Gardening Turns Your Backyard into a Sanctuary
Water Gardening satisfies people that are drawn naturally to the sound and sight of water. Water adds an appealing, soothing element to a garden. Adding a Backyard Water Garden will serve as a place of solitude and a haven away from your busy life.
Basically, Water Gardening is a pool of water that is naturally contoured in the landscape. It can be home to plants, fish and other water creatures; and can include fountains, waterfalls, small ponds and elaborate combinations of rocks and lighting.

Planning Your Water Garden
Perhaps the most important consideration in Water Gardening is choosing the right spot for installation. Most aquatic plants and fish need plenty of sun, so a site that gets 6-8 hours of direct sun is best. Select a site away from your tall shrubs and trees for best light; and to prevent the accumulation of leaf debris.
Plan your Water Garden Design using some basic principles. Consider the size of your property and its ability to maintain the water garden. Small ponds are best for small properties. A container on a deck may be all that is needed to add the perfect element for your space.

When choosing aquatic plants, keep in mind that the plants should cover no more than 50 - 60 percent of the water surface. Water lilies can add drama and fragrance even in small tubs. Some plants provide oxygen and help keep the pool healthy. Fish can be a beneficial addition, because they are good scavengers for cleaning up debris. They also can help control mosquito larva, and other insects.
All garden ponds and pools regardless of size will need maintenance throughout the year. With proper planning, you can ensure a healthy balance between living and decorative features of Water Gardening that can almost care for itself with simple maintenance from you.
