To get ideas on how a container pond can feature in your garden please look at the images below. Every customer uses or chooses their container pond with a different idea in their mind.
- Some want a planted feature and concentrate on colour and interest from the plant selection.
- To encourage wildlife to visit is also a popular reason.
- Others want to colour-coordinate the pond finish to their existing plantings.
- Some are looking for it to contrast with the surrounding hard landscaping.
