Garden Pictures
You have heard the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words". The objective of these water garden pictures is to touch your soul and inspire your imagination to help you visualize your own creation. In viewing these pictures of garden ponds you can get ideas for your own design.
We snapped the pond pictures you see here on the pond tour we took in the summer of 2007, inspiring us to share them with the you. If you want to have an enjoyable weekend, take a pond tour or two and get more ideas for creating your own oasis. We then suggest that you play some music, incorporating the sounds of water and visualize what you can create in your own back yard.
It is our hope that you enjoy the water garden pictures as much as we have enjoyed sharing them here and throughout this garden ponds website.
A partially shaded backyard garden pond set in a wooded landscape with a beautiful waterfall as a backdrop.
Most aquatic plants need direct sun light but there are some variety’s that will still perform well in shaded environments.
A beautiful backyard waterfall as a backdrop for aquatic plants is a sure winner.
This is the same pond as pictured above but this time a
marginal or shallow water plant is the featured plant. There are
several varieties of marginal’s that work very well in a pond
setting.
Incorporating a bridge and large boulders to
your large
pond landscape
will add so much to your backyard oasis.
The bridge also adds a vantage point for viewing your fish and for tending to your plants.
Adding a walk way leading from the bridge back to the yard will "finish" the look that you want. Imagine a leisurely stroll thru the backyard and coming to the little walkway leading to the bridge over your pond, pausing maybe even sitting on the bridge to view your pond.
Paint a beautiful landscape around your pond with wild flowers.
They can create a no maintenance area around your pond and add to the natural look. Also wildflowers can act as ground cover for your discarded dirt and rocks that may be left over from the construction of your backyard garden pond.
