Today, we decided to come up with something very interesting, which we are sure if many of you are aware of. Buckle up plant lovers, you are going to love this topic in particular! Apart from the usual gardening methods that we follow, there is this very refreshing and unique form for you to practice. This is called water gardening.
What exactly is water gardening?
As the name suggests, this form of gardening takes place in water! You might be surprised to know that this form of gardening is not new. This has existed since long ago, the Mughal’s era. You might have gotten a chance to see them at Mughal gardens since they have the water feature present. The simulation of a natural landscape with water around by proper planning and use of various plants is called water gardening. This is very helpful in breaking the monotony of a large landscape. Such garden forms have become popular in the contemporary style of gardening.
A water garden has a variety of designs and planting options that make them stand out. Apart from the Mughal gardens, the Japanese gardens also use water as a very essential part of their gardens and also put the koi fishes in them.
Why and where can you design them?
If you are looking forward to adding beauty, movement and a little sound to your garden, this can be the one! Water adds coolness and calms the surrounding areas. It is very impactful in uplifting the beauty around it. Also, having a water garden is the best combination of getting motion and sound of water together. The flow of water charms and soothes the witness and helps in stimulating imagination. Hence, you can try to design them in a natural water body or create an artificial one on your own.
However, if you plan to make one near your living space, seeing them daily will add more pleasure to your eyes. Just make sure that for your water garden to sustain longer, it should get exposed to at least 6 hours of sunlight. This will help in a healthier way of growth for the plants. Just make sure that your water garden is NOT placed under a tree, since it will attract a lot of dirt and can turn out to be a barrier to healthy plant growth. Also, make sure that a very high location is avoided. This will cause the formation of algae around your plants which is not good! Hence, we advise you to wisely choose the location for a hindrance-free beautiful garden.
