This project is being presented by Carl Youngers of Bella Terra Greenhouse. I will be presenting a series on water gardening over the next four weeks. I hope you will enjoy this topic.
Water gardens are the most popular and the fastest growing type of gardening.
The area around your pond can have elevation changes to make your gardens more interesting. You can terrace your garden to create level areas for your ponds with the differences in elevation used by water falls and streams. Don't create a pond in a frost pocket or a very exposed area. Areas exposed to strong winds are not the most favorable. They can be planted or buffered by fencing creating a microclimate.
