There is something special and tranquil about the sound of gentle flowing water. Just imagine sipping on a glass of cold, refreshing tea out on your back patio or deck, while enjoying your own water garden. Beautiful, blooming flowers generally surround water gardens with a sweet fragrance that enhances the water. You can create a water garden as small or large, as you like. Complete kits to include a heavy-duty rubber liner (lasts longer than plastic liners), submersible pump, water, and tubing can all be found at your local home improvement store. Add a small water fountain statue, some lights, a few fish, and you are all set. These kits are inexpensive and depending on the size, range in price from $75 to $500. Statuary, rocks, plants, lights, and fish are all extra but you can create the water garden that you will love.
