Making a Choice

There are several plants you can choose from for your water gardens.  The outcome of your water gardens depend on you and your taste.  You also need to consider the size of your ponds, the fish that will populate your water gardens, and if there any particular displays you want your gardens to have, for example, all blue flowers.  You want to make sure you don’t over clutter your ponds with plants, but you also do not want your fish to become prey for other animals. 

The combination of fish and plants is not only a beautiful sight, but it actually benefits the ponds by reducing algae.  You can choose from lotus, water lilies, and underwater plants to populate your ponds.  There are many other plants to choose from and different variations of water lilies.  Make sure to research the kind of plants you want in your water gardens and have an idea of how you want them to be placed in your pond.  You want to have a display that will cause people to gaze upon and enjoy, but as well as to yourself, because in the end they are your water gardens.

Once you have decided on the type of aquatic plants you want in your water gardens, you will need to decide where they will be placed.  Like any other plant, you will need to remember they have their own temperaments, so research the plants you want in your water gardens. Some plants take well to a lot of movement while other plants don’t.  Also, plants grow, so they may need their own space depending on the type of plant and make sure you don’t plant “tall” aquatic plants in shallow water.  Finally, get large pots so they will have room to grow.

Have fun experimenting with your new water gardens and enjoy it to the fullest. Try different displays and have fun with the color from the flowers.  Making your masterpiece shouldn’t be stressful; it should be fun and pleasing.
