Water Garden: Containers

Water Garden Containers

Once you've chosen a spot for your container water garden - remember, 6 or more hours of direct sunlight a day, no overhanging trees, and a nearby water source (and power source if you'll be using a circulating pump for a waterfall) - you get to the fun part. Most home and garden supply store chains carry all the materials you need to create small ponds, including plastic liners - but you're only limited by your imagination and a few basic rules in choosing a container for your water garden.

Water Garden Liner

Surprisingly enough, it is usually in mid-summer that many gardeners begin to think about installing a small pond or water garden. Ponds don't need to be weeded or watered, and they can supply exuberant color in the form of water lilies and bog plants.

Pre Formed Garden Ponds

If you are put off building a pond because it looks difficult, then think again. With some readily available information and instructions, the installation of a water garden can be as simple as digging a hole.
