Creating a Naturally Beautiful Water Garden


A water garden can increase your landscape's aesthetics exponentially and become a beautiful means to attract pollinators, amphibians, songbirds and other desirable wildlife. A properly designed water garden stocked with native plants and small fish becomes a haven for homeowners and guests alike. In this class, we'll learn how to create, plant, and maintain container, pre-formed, and custom water gardens of all sizes, covering such topics as natural filtration, low maintenance, add-on features, and eco-sensitive design. Water gardening — it's a whole new world!




Materials will be updated for the Friday, October 1, 2021 Zoom class for the Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania.
