Small Water Gardens are great for a few of reasons. They look great, sound lovely (with a small fountain), are relatively inexpensive, easier to maintain than a large pond, and you can have them in a small area such as a patio or balcony.
They're fool proof too. If you wind up with a design that you don't like, it's easy to rearrange the plants. Small-container water gardens are actually a collection of submerged potted plants - yes you can just leave them in their pot! So redesigning a planting is as simple as moving the pots around. And the plants are tough - most are hard to kill and require little maintenance.
All you need is a location, a pot that holds water (water bowl), and a few plants. For me, small-container water gardens are an extremely rewarding exercise, for not all that much effort. And once you've mastered a small container, think what you can do in a big water garden!
