Patio water garden

Your friends and family will love spending time on your patio or porch when you deck the space out with container water gardens. Lotuses are especially easy to grow in containers (choose large buckets or pots, however, as these flowers grow rapidly). The sweet scent of these gorgeous plants will be appreciated in a patio water feature, in addition to their stunning shape.

Water lettuce, taro, and water canna are also great solutions for a patio water garden. Keep in mind that if you live in an area that freezes during the winter, you’ll want to choose flowers and plants that can be moved indoors when necessary.

Bell fountain

The bell fountain is a simple backyard water feature that doesn’t need much space or an abundance of supplies. This kind of feature provides constant water movement, which is delightful to the eyes and ears. You can get away with minimal investment and end up with a backyard water feature that is arguably more beautiful than ones costing thousands of dollars.

These are just a small number of water features that you can build yourself. Have fun playing around with your landscape and outdoor living space to construct the perfect water feature to bring calm into your home.
