Incorporate a water feature. No matter what size or type of garden, there are a number of water features that will fit into any space, as well as any budget. Vinyl or fiberglass pond liners are widely available at garden centres. These come in a variety of sizes which offer flexible options to easily suit your particular needs. They can also be placed either above or below ground so if your space cannot accommodate a large water feature, such as with balconies, containers make excellent alternatives. Fountains always make wonderful additions to any type of setting, and fountain kits can make this possible. Fountains come in an array of choices to suit your personal preferences; they can splash, gurgle, spray, drip, etc. You can place your fountain just about anywhere. For instance, the bottom of a small pond or even a large container such as an urn, planter, barrel, or strawberry jar can create a stunning home for your fountain. Hollowed-out bamboo canes can also be transformed into serene water features. For example, drill some holes in various areas along the cane. Attach the cane, in an upright position, to a submersible pump placed in the bottom of a large container, such as a half-wooden barrel. Fill with water, plug it into a nearby outlet, and relax to the soothing sounds of water trickling from the cane. www.gardeningknowhow.co OUR NEW If your doors, gates, Long and short term or garage door need a rentals are available and DOOR LOOKS facelift call Timbertone we can tailor a package to SPECTACULAR! 07 5593 8444. suit your needs.
