Small Water Features

If you love water features in the garden and want a water feature but don't have much space in your yard consider these...
....a place to stick a toe in... cool the feet.... want to hear the sound of water running to muzzle street  noise?  I have two suggestions. One, add a water feature to your small yard or townhouse garden then get a birdcage with a couple of singing birds.... The impact will be such that you'll  want to spend the entire summer outside.

As long as a pot can hold water it can be used for a water feature.
 


Add a small bird bath as your water feature in a very small garden.

  
This well designed garden can be scaled for a smaller spacer too.
 
 Sometimes all you may have to work with is a corner. I love the way this garden also uses plantings in pots to add variety to the foliage surrounding the water feature.
  

Here is another example of a water feature that can be scaled for a smaller space.
When your garden wall is shorter.... adjust the size of your pool.

I would love to add a water feature on my front porch. Since I have cleared out all my projects.

These are all great water features, I've always wanted a koi pond, but unfortunately I don't really have the space or budget for it. Thanks for sharing this and showing me what you can do with limited space. I especially like the 3rd one down, that glass like surface is beautiful.
