If you only have a small garden but would still like to hear the tranquil sound of running water you should consider adding a water feature to the space you have. There are many different water features in the market at the moment and each and every style can vary in size and can add something different to your garden.

The different types of water features you can choose from include wildlife pools, container ponds, bog gardens, streams, water fountains and self contained above ground water features. The feature you decide upon will depend on the look you want to create and of course the effort you want to go to. Many self contained water features are perfect to add that instant feature into your garden. Some varieties of these might include water bubbling through the centre of a mill stone or water tumbling between different levels of pots. These types of water feature come with an in-built pump and your only concern is working out the route the electricity supply will take from your house to the feature.

Adding a water feature to your garden will not only benefit you either. The local wildlife will love the free source of water and who knows, it might inspire you to create your own larger full size formal pond.
