Water & Child friendly Garden Water Features.

With continual hot dry Australian weather, people are looking for water saving ideas for the home and office.
Clients who want to have a water feature but are concerned about child safety or water consumption will be pleased to know about the new range of GRC ( Glass reinforced concrete) water features.

These unique and exclusive water features (14 different styles available in four colours ) are fully self contained with an internal sump making them safe to use in areas where children are present.

As the water is housed under a protective cover, evaporation is minimised. The fiberglass that is incorporated into the concrete construction reduces the porosity of the water features thus further reducing water loss. Reclaimed water can be used in the water feature as it will not effect the operation of the pump or the appearance of the water feature.

Garden Decor and sister company Pots Direct are one of Australia's main wholesaler's of top quality imported pots, urns, water features and offer distributors water saving advice and options to provide their clients.

WATER FEATURES.
Garden centres and retail nurseries sell a lot more than plants, pots and planters, fertilizers, outdoor lighting and with many garden centres water features are also a standard item. Specialist Water Feature suppliers provide an even greater range. So what is it about water features that are so appealing to gardeners.

Garden designer Jill Weatherhead gives us an insight into water features and their place in the garden.

WATER FEATURES IN THE GARDEN
Jill Weatherhead

In our hot climate, water features are becoming very popular in our gardens. They refresh and cool us, give us visual and sound interest, and remind us of an oasis. The early Persian and Moorish gardens followed the ancient Egyptian style where a garden was quartered by two canals and trees were planted to provide shade. Larger gardens contained many intersecting canals.











Persian gardens had water rills which were in straight lines as these were easier to make. They were lined with colourful tiles; and formed the basis for the formal garden style to follow for so many centuries. These walled gardens contained pavilions and had a brief season of a wealth of spring flowers, but with the heat of summer, visual interest was provided by the colorful tiles and fowl such as peacocks.
Today's courtyards and gardens may be enriched with a water feature. These range from the latest water walls and classical fountains, spouting pipes which pour water into a small reservoir, to the rarer shallow rill which can fascinate children and adults alike. Pools may have stepping stones - informal rocks as in Gordon Ford's naturalistic garden to formal square pavers in straight lines. Crossing a pool like this brings out the child in us.
