A garden pool is a natural starting place for designing a new garden or for redesigning an older one, an enchanting place for guests to visit. For gardeners, a garden pool opens up a whole new world. Long accustomed to the frequent problem of providing adequate drainage for plants, pool owners face an entirely different form of gardening in which plants thrive on water alone. Water plants add new colors, shapes, and textures to a garden, especially the hardy and tropical water lilies, oxygenating plants and grasses, and such floating plants as the water hyacinth. Quiet and reflecting, or dancing and image-shattering, garden pools bring charm and beauty into a garden.
