One of the important aspects of a garden themed around landscaping is the water. Normally, water is shown as a waterfall or a stream, both leading to a pool in the garden. The pond may not be useful for swimming but has one of the most exploitable assets: water. All your plants depend on water so you can take out a duct from the pond to create a sprinkler or a drainage that recycles the water through plants. This also helps you retain the water level in your garden.

As you already have a pond, you can get more decoration utilizing the pond. The pond can carry numerous types of water-plants like lotus, water lilies etc. The border of the ponds can be used to plant shrubs such as bogs and marginal plants. Other than decoration, these plants also help you keep the water oxygenated in case you are using fish in the ponds.

Marginal plants add more colors to your pond and thereby to the entire garden. Basically, the marginal plants are long stemmed plants that are kept in bags containing fertile soil before submerging them into the deeper parts of the pond. As the stems are long, the leaves and flowers of these plants come over the pond and produce the effect of plants floating on the pond. In short, if you have a pond in your garden, you can always use marginal plants to produce a better, natural landscape.
