Small water garden inspiration

Just need somewhere to collect inspiration for a future water feature or small koi pond.

Feel free to add pretty projects you've seen or created.

Water feature  and fountain.

Update and upgrade some time later

They are both really lovely!! Will you be using a vessel above ground, like theirs, or sticking to the in-ground feature?

right now, I'm just gathering information of different ponds and water gardens that inspire and have a calm feel about them.  Something for the future perhaps.  Although I am currently experimenting with a small water garden, I could see wanting to improve and rebuild it in a year or two.  

This natural swimming pool (af. link) video has some great ideas in it.  I finally got around to watching it today.  I've been avoiding it because I don't swim, why would I want a pool?  

But actually, the balance and thought that goes into that ecosystem has some good inspiration for small water gardens.  

A much bigger system than just a single garden,  but full of inspiration.   I like how the fish helped with the washing up.

And the end

The clacking of these fountains was used to keep wildlife from eating crops.

love this you have a lot of know how on plants, loved the variety  thanks for sharing

I finally made another little pond a few weeks ago! I had one similar before bus life and also a small inground pond before that. I’ve been missing the comforts of past gardens so this year I just decided not to wait anymore. I’ll take it all with me if we change locations someday! It has added so much peace and joy to our little spot… I don’t know why I waited so long! So easy to put together!
Happy Spring!
(I’ll post a few pix separately if I can figure it out…)

Made this a few weeks ago! Love it and have missed my small ponds of the past before bus life…
So peaceful and easy to do. I will take it with me if and when we change locations!
Happy Spring!

We love mini ponds and bird baths for our wildlife friends. Here are a few pics of our ponds. We plan for more.
