Water Gardening
The water gardening lifestyle is becoming more and
more a way of life in Southern California.
More and more home owners are stepping out of their
work-a-day world of deadlines, cell phones, traffic
jams, anti social co-workers, and entering the tranquil
sanctuary of their own water garden.
How many people do you know who escape from our technical
concrete jungle and go to a lush green golf course,
escape for a hike in the mountains, venture into a
forest, or lay at the beach soaking in the sounds of
cascading waves?
40 to 60 hours a week most of us are surrounded by
computers, pagers, mass media, Xerox machines, and
all the others things that come in this vast sea of
circuits and technology that is anything but natural.
C-3PO from Star Wars may feel at home in this environment,
but for most of us humanoids, this daily interaction
leaves us with a longing to escape to Mother Nature.
And that is the pleasure of water gardening! The Zen
atmosphere and tranquilness of Mother Nature right
in your backward. No need to jump on a plane or to
drive hours out of the city to feel close to nature.
Imagine sipping tea with your spouse, listening to
soothing sounds of water spilling over the rocks and
into your pond. Colorful Koi swim about. You take a
deep breath and inhale the aroma of the surrounding
plants and flowers. A blue jay lands, skips over to
the water and bathes in the stream. All this while
having the quality of conversation with your spouse
that you can’t have in front of the television.
Water gardening provides a hobby for the whole family
to enjoy. It’s very common to hear a home owner
describe how their water feature has increased communication
between them and their spouse, how it’s lured
the children away from the mesmerization of video games
and TV with pond critters that are far more interesting.
Water features also make an excellent place to entertain
friends and family. Chat with neighbors over coffee,
or just to spend some quality alone time with oneself.
Recent advances
in pond technology have the pond working
with nature, not against it. Long gone are the days
where a very artificial concrete pond turns into a
swampy mess that cannot harbor any life but algae.
Modern
pond technology uses high tech filters and environment
friendly under layments. The result is a low maintenance
personal oasis.
The new eco-friendly water features support all kinds
of beautiful creatures to enhance that close-to-nature
feeling. Fish, frogs, Koi, dragonflies and turtles
are a few of the beautiful critters that you can purchase
and or naturally attracted to your pond. Birds of all
kinds visit often to drink and bath in the clear water.
There are a variety of lilies, flowers, aquatic plants,
and grasses that enhance the beauty and fragrance of
your water garden.
