Water Garden Design
Designing Simple Water Garden Features
A water garden is definitely a wonderful thing to enjoy and have at one’s property. Most of the times, these water gardens can be found in different establishments that can provide a wide space that is far from the busy streets of the urban world. However, recently has it been increasingly popular and added as features of people’s residential homes.
Definitely there is nothing wrong with having a simple water garden at your house. It is even a much more ideal setup since your home can truly be a place where you can escape from everything else and simply be at ease in your own surroundings.
If you desire to create your own water garden, you can absolutely design it yourself. The first thing that you have to do is find a quiet place in your home where it can receive adequate sunlight. It is also preferred that this area is far from the streets, perhaps at the corner of property or even at the center of your own house. This area must not be cemented, so that you can put soil and stones on it.
In addition to this, you have to remember the different elements that make up a water garden and these are stones, green plants and water. These are the most usual things you can find in a water garden however you can still work your magic on it and add a few touches as you go along.
Designing a simple water garden is definitely an easy task as long as you know what you want to achieve. What you can do is you can look at different water garden designs and you can base your own design from them. Having simple features of a water garden is really easy; all you have to remember is the meanings that these elements represent.
Most of the time, the water source is at the center of the water garden, it can be a simple pond where fish can swim or at times a simple waterfall can be found at the top of it. This element is very important since it gives life to the whole existence of the water garden. With the soothing rhythm of the flowing water, it gives music to the whole area of the water garden.
Moreover, if you are creating a pattern for your plants, make sure that your plants have a subtle green color to make the whole water garden rather ethereal to the eyes. Since these plants have a soft color, they create a feeling of calmness for the owners and visitors.
You can also add stones which can represent for so many things but usually depict the mountains of the natural environment. At times, these stones are placed around the water source to serve as a boundary. Also, at times these stones can be in the form of stone lamps and stone pathways.
Whatever your design may be, make sure to keep it simple and attune with the surrounding landscape. A water garden must have a balance in its elements which mean that overdoing one of the elements may not exactly be a good idea. As long as you are guided by your creativity and your natural instincts, then you can absolutely make your water garden a place of solitude.

what do the fountain and the silvery-clear liquid symbolize?
There was a frail old lady with silver threadlike hair tending carefully to her flowers in a magnificent garden. This was the most elegant garden I had ever seen. There were somewhat robust hedges demarcating the garden. There were bright yellow flowers that made a circle just inside the hedges. There were unerringly picturesque red, blue and violet flowers arranged in an indefinite manner, a design that she alone could comprehend. And in the middle was the piece de resistance; a shimmering brazen fountain that dispensed silvery-clear liquid. I couldn’t decide if this liquid I saw, even for the split-second that I saw it, was water; it had this ethereality that I could not understand. The picture still flashes in my head, every time the liquid seeming to be something different.
Was this a dream? I’m not good at dream interpretation but I did pretty well in lit classes, so…perhaps the fountain, being in the center…represents the core, or rooted base for the life force (the water-like substance) in the garden. The fountain is the source of the life force, and what ebbs from it changes when you see it, because life changes. It’s different colors and different shimmers because sometimes in life, you’re young (chronologically or at heart) and full of energy and happiness, and at other times, you’re more melancholy, or chaotic or joyful or angry etc…
