Great to have a water feature.

A container water garden will turn your outdoor area into a beautiful place to relax and listen to the magic of trickling water. You can add lights for night display.

There are a wide range of containers to select and a popular one is the half barrel. Clay pots can be used but must be sealed with a non toxic sealant. A pond liner might be necessary to line a wooden container.

There is a large range of aquatic plants available and as they are planted in submerged pots, the can be rearranged at any time to freshen up the look.

You will need to work out where to place the container water garden as when filled it will be very heavy. Remember the plants will need morning sunlight and afternoon shade.
