What to do if the site is quite small, or simply for some reason there is no opportunity to plot the construction of a full-scale pond, but do you want to make a reservoir? There is a solution, and not even one! In today’s collection for you – a dozen interesting and quite simple in the execution of the ideas of miniature garden ponds.
The first option is the simplest: we take any suitable container of the maximum possible size, place it in the garden where we like it, put pots with water plants at the bottom, pour gravel so that the soil does not erode, and fill it with water. The pond is ready! Image above.
Option two: instead of one large capacity, we take several smaller ones 🙂 The technology, in general, is the same, but the possibilities for creativity are wider.
Option three – mini-swamp. An amateur, but no hassle with plants: you can land at least by choosing the most unpretentious. Pay attention to the interesting decor: the old barrel hides a not very elegant plastic container, giving a special charm.
Option four – suitable if the farm has an old barrel. We bury it in the ground, leaving only a small part above the ground – we get a stationary (and rather deep) mini-reservoir. It is possible to arrange a fountain in it if you want.
And here is the fifth option – just with a fountain. Here, an unusual container used as a base for a mini-reservoir draws attention. Of course, such property is hardly just lying around in your barn, but, by being smart, you can do no worse with a simpler material.
… as, for example, in the sixth and seventh versions)) Old barrels, large ceramic pots and dishes – anything can become the basis for a small water cascade! The main details here are fantasy and skillful hands.
The eighth idea – especially for lovers of stones and Japanese style in garden design. Succinctly, but effectively, do you agree?
Pay attention to the ninth option: the raised mini-reservoir in the form of a bowl among tall flowers. If you do not plant it so thickly with plants, it may well serve as a trough for the birds living in your garden.
The tenth option – especially for those who want to contemplate the water surface, sitting on the terrace)) If such a container is also equipped with furniture wheels, your miniature pond will become mobile, and you will be able to change its location when it pleases. Not bad, right?
In the eleventh version, at first glance, there is almost no water 🙂 But in order to admire the reflections and sun glare in the water, it is quite enough. Plus the fact that such a mini-pond can be arranged even on a loggia or balcony!
The twelfth option is the smallest body of water)) Especially for those who are sad that the cold weather is coming, and in the country house everything will soon be covered with snow. Build a mini-pond at home! And in the summer in the country such an idea can be very popular with children. Yes, and a miniature will adorn the terrace or other place of your holiday cottage amazingly.
And which version of the mini-reservoir would you prefer?
