LLHG 507 - Water Features for the Home Garden

Soothing sound, cooling effect, providing habitat for wildlife are all reasons to consider adding water to your garden. A water garden can be as simple as a waterproof container with a small pump or as elaborate as a pond with a waterfall or stream. In this class we'll cover types of water gardens, pumps, location, basic installation, and maintenance as well as give you guidelines for water garden costs. The second class will be a field trip and will give you the opportunity to see various water gardens and discuss design, installation, costs, and maintenance associated with each; transportation is by carpool.
