Garden Water Feature DesignThe garden water feature is the most prized attraction of any backyard.
Whether you're creating a container garden on purpose, or you're just limited by space, a garden water feature can be the finishing touch in creating a garden to be proud of. Water features come in many shapes and sizes and can add that individual touch that makes your garden stand out from the rest. They're not that complicated to fit, but the result can be transforming.If you create your water feature in a container garden, you even have the flexibility of moving it around, dressing it up in different plants according to the season, which can change the whole feel of your garden. There's something about water, I don't know whether it's the sound of it running and trickling, or the sight of it tumbling over stones and splashing into a pool, but it has to be one of the most enjoyable and relaxing of additions to any garden. Just watching the sunlight sparkle and dance, and seeing the reflections of all the colors of flowers and plants, I can't help but smile. There's also the fact that water attracts wildlife too. As enjoyable as they are to watch, the birds you'll attract with a garden water feature will make for great pest control, all of it completely natural, with not a chemical in sight. Don't be discouraged by the prospect of having to do plumbing or wiring. These days you can get water features that are really simple to install without the need for any technical knowledge or expertise. And even if you don't want to go that far, simply keeping a bird bath topped up with water will attract all sorts of birds to your garden. And birds are great to have in your garden. In addition to providing endless entertainment, they'll also eat many of today's pests such as leatherjackets and wireworms. And not only that, they'll also improve the fertility of your soil with their droppings. It's also a fact that birds with a good supply of water will eat less of your fruits and berries. If you want to start small, you might want to consider a container pond. They make a great and simple addition to any garden and carry many advantages over a more traditional pond such as; * you can have a container pond in an area as small as a fire escape* they are portable so you can move them about* you can take them with you when you move house Water features, pools and container ponds can transform your garden and bring a huge amount of pleasure. They're good for your garden, good for the environment, and good for the inhabitants -- unless they're pests! Find more great gardening tips on our gardening tips website.
