Water Gardens
|
Water adds serenity and music to the garden even if that water feature is only a bird-bath, or a small fountain. Water also acts as a mirror where its reflections add interest and movement to the landscape, another dimension.
Wherever you decide to place your pool, do make sure it gets plenty of light and is visible from the terrace or from windows in the house. Plenty of sunlight is necessary to grow many of the pool dwelling plants, at least 5 to 6 hours per day. Make sure deciduous trees dont foul the pool that may kill the fish should you decide to keep them. Evergreen shrubs or hedges are excellent in being able to shelter the pool from cold winds and so keep the water at a warmer temperature for fish and tender plants.

Commonly called sensitive fern because the green vegetative fronds are sensitive to and suffer almost immediate damage from the first fall frost. Also sensitive to drought.

Spores are located in brown, tassel-like, fertile clusters at the tips of the fronds, thus giving rise to the additional common name of flowering fern for this plant. Osmunda fiber used in the potting of orchids comes from the fibrous roots of these ferns. Excellent selection for wet areas along ponds, streams, water gardens or in bogs.
