If you love water features in the garden and want a water feature but don't have much space in your yard consider these... ....a place to stick a toe in... cool the feet.... want to hear the sound of water running to muzzle street noise? I have two suggestions. One, add a water feature to your small yard or townhouse garden then get a birdcage with a couple of singing birds.... The impact will be such that you'll want to spend the entire summer outside. As long as a pot can hold water it can be used for a water feature. Add a small bird bath as your water feature in a very small garden. This well designed garden can be scaled for a smaller spacer too. Sometimes all you may have to work with is a corner. I love the way this garden also uses plantings in pots to add variety to the foliage surrounding the water feature. Here is another example of a water feature that can be scaled for a smaller space. When your garden wall is shorter.... adjust the size of your pool. l
