Garden Ponds
A popular alternative to either traditional garden fountains or waterfalls is the garden pond. A garden pond is simply what the name implies, however there are many ways of tailoring a pond. The simplest garden ponds are sometimes the most beautiful. Water does reflect off it's surface and a still pond looks like a mirror reflecting the rest of the garden and sky above. These are sometimes called gazing ponds and can be extremely relaxing to contemplate. A pond can also be adorned with water plants, lilies or lily pads. Many people like to add fish to their pond and this can be enjoyable if you know how to care for the fish and keep the water chemical balances in check to support fish life. One of the most popular choices is the Koi fish pond. Koi fish are symbols of good luck and can grow to be quite large and live a long time. Koi are also extremely colorful and their bright orange, white, red and black colors show up dramatically under the water.
For people who do not prefer a completely silent pond an easy addition is to purchase a fountain nozzle that will spray water up in a stream or specific shape from the pond. Nozzles can be purchased in many styles that give specific shapes to the water such as a round bell, tall jet, dual jets and many others. Some nozzles are even adjustable for shape. Underwater lights can be positioned under the water jets to light them up at night.
