Water Garden

• Planned planning of aquatic and semi-aquatic plants in and around a pool is known as water gardening.
• The water garden conveys a joy which is different from that of a land garden. The reflections of the sky and the plants on the water surface, little waves passing in parade with gems of sunbeam on their crest, the movement of fishes in water, gives a very pleasant and happy feeling.


• A water garden may be large or small depending upon the size of the garden of which it is a part.
• It may be natural or artificial.
• Natural water gardens fit well in an informal design and are often modeled from an existing water body.
• An artificial water garden is usually a concrete structure.
• In case of a natural body of water it needs modification in outline and area to conform to the layout and expanse of the garden in which it is included.
• In the absence of natural water body an artificial water pool can be constructed.
