Converting a Water Feature Creating an Environment

A presentation to the Shenandoah Valley Master Gardener Course Quick Introduction to Water Features Maintenance Issues Things master gardeners should know...

If a landscape garden is an approximation of the natural world... o Element of most gardening traditions Water is a key (along with stone) Special characteristics of water o Reflection o Calmness o Liquid of Life

A Whole New Realm of Plants Available Sound of Running Water, Animals Reflection of Light, Shapes, Color Fauna “Messing about in”... water

Plastic ponds available – standard shapes Rubber sheeting – allows free form Illusion of Water – á la Japanese Garden Waterfall/stream – added feature of sound Fountain – sound and vertical form Bird bath – water source Swim Pools

Security (Securable Fence) Leaves in Fall (Netting) Debris (Skimmer or Net) Mosquitoes (Minnows, “dunks”) Algae (Net, Barley Straw) Biological Balance (Flora-Fauna, Volume) Predators (Accept)

A whole new set of requirements/concepts o water depth o hardiness o sources of nutrients o balance of life forms o sun requirements Moving water is not required Straightforward solutions without chemicals Many kinds of beauty in water
