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.
Let's assume you have decided on your water garden location, size and type of pond liner. Outline the shape of the pond using something like rope, garden hose, lime, or spray paint. In the winter, a slope allows the ice to expand upwards without causing damage. This shelf needs to be a minimum of nine inches wide before you dig down to the next level. Your planting shelf can be any shape that you want.
