Water Gardens
Working
with the beautifying effects of water – or waterscaping – has
captivated us for many years. Waterscaping includes water garden
design, installation of the pond, and shore preparation with
appropriate vegetation choices. Water gardens are new to the
landscaping array of choices, but they aren't new to us.
We have four water gardens at the nursery to show you a few of
the many possibilities. The gardens have an array of lilies,
floating hearts, taros and lotus, and some use grass and
perennials on the banks to create a natural effect.
In addition, fountains and waterfalls are our specialty, and
the nursery has an 8' waterfall cascading into an enchanted pool
inhabited by languid koi.
The following sections discuss some of the construction
and maintenance issues if you are thinking of installing your
own water garden.
