If you are sta
rting a new garden or just adding on to an established garden, the best thing to do first thing to do first is to put in a water feature. The hardest part will be deciding what you want. There are so many styles to choose from on the market today, that the possibilities are endless. If you are starting a garden from scratch, you should decide the style of garden you want first, and then go from there. If it is not a new garden, just go with the flow, as the saying goes. Pick out one that will match your theme that is already there.
You can dig a pond and line it, install a molded pond, with or without a waterfall. make a level area and put a fountain on it, or just plop down a birdbath and be done with it, whatever you choose a water feature is a must if you want to attract wildlife. They are also very pleasing to look at. All birds, insects and animals need water as well as food to survive, and there is a style for every possible taste and space available to put it in. Take your time and decide what is best for you. I prefer fountains because they can be moved easil
y when I want to change things around from one year to the next. I love the look of ponds but I have a lot of tree roots in my yard that makes digging large areas very difficult.
Fountains come in all themes, shapes, sizes, and types. They can be mounted on a wall, set on a table or pedestal, or free standing, They can be electric, battery operated or solar powered. They can spray upwards or flow downwards, they can be single layered or many tiers, most of them let you
control the flow of water too. It can be hard to choose from all of the designs that you have to choose from though because there are so many.
They have angels, cherubs, crosses, frogs, dolphins, rocks, hummingbirds, birds, butterflies, gnomes, pineapples, acorn, dragons, fairies, children and even Buddha’s, just to name a few.
If you want a little whimsy in your life, try creating a garden that will make you and your visitors smile. Some themes you can use are Gnomes, Frogs and toads, fairies, children playing, and almost any animal you can think of. You can design the whole garden around one certain theme or mix them together to make a smorgasbord of delightful oddities. Or if you have plenty of property, you can make many gardens all with a different theme. That is what I do. But remember gardens are like children they need to be nurtured and taken care of
, and also like children some are easier to take care of than others. A little research goes a long way in making the perfect decisions as far as plants and decorations that are right for any garden. So put some thought into what you put in your garden. I like plastic or stone borders, fences and decorations because they don’t need painted, but I love wooden arbors and trellises for my roses and vines to grow on, so I have to touch up the paint occasionally.
I love perennials because they return every year and require little maintenance. But I also plant annuals for the endless varieties of blooms they produce. Once again it is a matter of choice and the time you can spend caring for your garden.
If you want to attract birds, butterflies, or hummingbirds you can plant a few of their
favorite plants and put out feeders for them too.
The internet has endless information on what plants will attract whatever you choose to invite into your garden. All gone to the birds will be happy to help you decide which type will be suitable for your needs and you are welcome to browse our selection of fountains any time you wish. Wherever you choose to purchase your fountain we know you and your garden friends will cherish it for years to come.
