The sound of a gentle waterfall bubbling over stones,
the reflections of ripples flickering in the sunlight, the
eddies and currents whirling around mossy stones in
a continual yet ever-changing ballet — nothing is
more engaging.
For centuries the focus of peaceful meditation
in eastern cultures, where no garden is complete
without water, water features now stir the hearts
of millions across the globe, spanning all
cultural borders.
Maybe you like the idea of a tranquil stream lined
with nodding grasses reflected in the slow waters,
dropping gently from pool to pool as it winds
peacefully through the garden.
Perhaps you are entranced by the sight, sound and
spray of a spirited waterfall, leaping down from ledge
to pocket to rock, then disappearing from view in a
glistening swirl into a graveled pool.
Whatever you decide, this guide will help you to
create the water feature of your dreams, easy to
care for and beautiful, without the maintenance and
upkeep that fish ponds require.
