Gail suggested that I visit since I posted my waterfall and stream today on my blog, Defining Your Home Garden.

Thanks for the link, Cameron. I enjoyed reading your post and seeing how well you’ve blended your stream and waterfall into your plantings.

I, too, have always been attracted to water and water features in the garden. Read more about some of my favorite water features at http://blogs.scottarboretum.org/gardenseeds/2008/09/water-in-the-garden-2/

Hi Andrew! Thanks for joining us at GGW and sharing the link.

Beautiful examples of pond possibilities. A smaller scale to consider from a balcony gardener in Canada at http://www.balconygardener.ca/journal/

I appreciate you sharing the link, BG. Not just one container water garden, but four!

Hi Nan,
Hope your readers enjoy my post about our bog garden at http://loisdevries.blogspot.com/2008/09/bog-garden.html

A good story, and a great solution for a soggy spot. Thanks for sharing the link, Lois!

Water in the garden? Yep, got that. Details of transforming a boggy area in the lawn into a raingarden are blogged at: http://thebackquarteracre.blogspot.com/search/label/raingarden

Thanks for the links, Doctor Mom! You’re the first one who’s chimed in from the rain garden angle, and it’s intriguing to see your progress.

Hi Nan: I posted about a water feature at Cornell you may want to include. It’s here: http://www.remarc.com/craig/?p=467

Thanks for this one too, Craig. I’d definitely walk a little out of my way to see this every day!

Nan,
I think that you may have left a question on my photo page about a specific tile used on one of my fountains.
The deco tile was created by Sonoma Tile Makers. The color is ‘burlap’ and the name of the ’spout tile’ is called Camelot.

It wasn’t me, Michelle, but I appreciate you leaving the info here. And thanks again for the link to your photo gallery of water features – what a treat!

Water gardens, from puddles to pools

Thanks again for hosting these great workshops.

What a great variety of shapes and sizes of water features, Craig – something for everyone. Thanks for the link!

Hi – see my http://patientgardener.wordpress.com/2008/09/08/my-wildlife-pond/ post about my wildlife pond.

Thanks so much for sharing the ups and downs of your water feature. I’m thinking that a natural-looking pond like this might be a good option for my own garden!

I just finished a couple small water features. One was for myself and another was for a client who wanted a birdbath with gently bubbling water. Be sure to check out the slide show.

Thanks, David – the slide show was very helpful. A project this scale definitely seems do-able!
