Water is the source of life, it’s so refreshing and so natural in every space! Backyard ponds, fountains and other water bodies can enliven your patio or garden easily. If you don’t have enough space to accommodate a pond or you consider making it too difficult, we offer you to decorate your outdoor space with a mini pond. This is an amazing idea for any outdoors, including a front porch or a terrace – it’ll take just little space!

The easiest way to make it is to use a container as a base for a pond, and then you can place whatever you like: water plants, flowers, rocks, pebbles, colorful balls, even fish or toads. What container can you use Literally anything that you have at hand: an oversized planter, a galvanized tank, a plastic container or even a large bowl, it all depends on the size of the pond you want. If you wanna make a statement with it, go for a bright color on the outside – paint the planter in some bright color. But keep in mind – if your container is going to be visible, it should somehow correspond with the outdoor decor your have. a barrel water garden dug into the ground, with rocks, water lilies and grasses is a lovely idea for a garden
