The Water Garden 



There is probably no other feature in garden design that has more appeal 

 than the use of water in some form or other. It may be a placid pool, a cascade, 

 a bubbling brook, a fountain, or the smallest of pools made from a half barrel, 

 but each will take its place in creating the desired effect in the landscape scheme. 



Pools should be located so they reflect the background when viewed or 

 approached from a distance. A good background aids in directing the atten- 

 tion of the observer to the pool and reflects the charm of the surroundings. 

 Best success is derived from the lilies, lotus and other aquatic plants when the 

 pool is located in full sunlight, but fair success may be had in partial shade. 



The water garden however small is worth having if only to attract the birds 

 near one's home. May we help you plan your water garden? 



An exceptional example of a combined naturalistic pool and rock garden, tJJt ocanTy of wIju Ii lies 

 in duplicating so faithfully the subtleties of nature itself
