Water Gardens Savor the Beauty, Avoid the Pitfalls, page 15 with Daniel DIx Boost the beauty of your terrain with the hottest landscape feature being installed today ― the water garden. The wide variety of flora and fauna that make water, rather than Terra Firma, their home are endlessly fascinating. The sound of a splashing waterfall and the sight of a tranquil reflective pool prove to be an irresistible draw for everyone. While a water garden can bring endless enjoyment, it can also become an installation and maintenance nightmare if done incorrectly. Daniel will share tips on how to make your water garden a beautiful and intrinsic part of your landscape.
