Summer is the season when all of your springtime work in the garden finally pays off. With the flowers in bloom and balmy nights abound most people find that they are spending more and more time outside. But have you noticed that your garden is missing something? Something that takes your landscape to the next level? Maybe that something is a water-feature.
Many garden water-features can add intrigue and beauty to your garden, but a few water features offer more practicality. A wonderful and little known water feature for your garden is a rill. A rill is a short and shallow canal. Many rills contain still water. Others are used to transport water through the garden. Still water rills are perfect for providing a water element that is attractive and helps to draw local wildlife to your garden. Rills that are used to transport water can help to simply watering and provide a relaxing sound that is conducive to contemplation.
More traditional water features, such as reflecting pools and fountains, create a formal feel for your home garden. It is possible to echo your homes architectural feel with a matching water garden. Get an idea for your own garden by looking at these great examples.
