What can be more peaceful than watching brightly colored koi lazily swimming in a pond beneath you feet?
Place the koi pool in the perfect setting, to enhance the ambiance, is my opinion.
Provide overhead cover of a small indigenous forest on a slope.
Interspersed with some shade loving exotics, like the delicious monster...
...and a series of other pools with cascading mini falls between them.
Tree ferns are always a favorite.
A final large cascade into the lowest and largest pond.
Add a good variety of different koi.
Add suitable pathways and benches...
Thank you for posting @gavvet.
Lovely photographs and commentary regarding such a beautiful setting as this pond. Each piece a part of the whole...a tapestry as it were.
All the best. Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful photography . Fish and nice
thanks...
you are welcome
Great place when bored working. Truly a place full of tranquility.
or just need a little peace...
Beautiful and peaceful. Definitely my kind of place.
It's easy to forget everything...
This is really an amazing garden. I could spend some time there every day!
Wish I could but it's 30 km away
That's easy, A tranquil bush setting, looking over the crocodile river into the kruger park would be lovely
Yea, that too..
A little pond or other water feature can sure be a nice addition to a garden. Do you have to clean the pond very much, as leaves and other vegetation accumulate? Do you use the pond to water any plants? It seems like the water would have a lot of great nutrients in it with all those fish! I hope you are enjoying some interesting insects around the water, too, like dragonflies! Enjoy your tranquility!
Nope, its not my garden, just at a place I visit, so all those chores are someone else's privilege.
I doubt the leaves are much of a problem as its pretty much a full functioning ecosystem... plenty of frogs, tadpoles etc. and amphibians are always a good indicator of ecosystem function.
