To The Water Gardener
Water in the garden is the essence of life, home to the unsurpassed beauty of radiant water irises and lilies, the glimmering iridescence of goldfish, the graceful movements of Koi, and reflections from the sky above.
Water has immense attraction to all people, satisfying our senses with sounds that only water can make. For centuries people have enjoyed the beauty of fountains and water gardens in their public squares and private estates. Water gardens create a natural focal point, whether located in the home garden, shopping mall, or office building.
Water garden designs vary, according to the space it fills and individual gardener’s desires. Tropical gardens with exotic lotus flowers may fill one gardener’s wishes, while another may dream of relaxing beside a whispering waterfall. Water gardens of all designs provide superb eco-systems for plants and fish.
The reasons for considering a water garden are varied. Commercial landscape architects use water in their designs for effect and uniqueness. Homeowners want to exchange their rakes, lawn mowers and weed eaters for a work free garden. Others desire a pond "just like grandpa always had," and many of us are simply looking for a garden to enjoy, a haven for relaxation.
Water does have a relaxing effect, whether it is the rhythmic waves of the ocean, a gently running brook, or the quiet beauty of a pond. While we may be unable to recreate nature with oceans and brooks, we can find pleasure in designing and building garden ponds.
