Who actually says that a rock garden can only consist of stones and matching plants? On the contrary, because the combination of stone and water complements each other visually - as long as the drought-loving rock garden plants do not drown in waterlogging.
Water brings movement to the rock garden
Numerous variations on the theme possible
As in the best model of the rock garden, nature, such a system can be wonderfully combined with a small stream, a waterfall and / or pond. If you don't want to make it quite as natural, you don't have to do without a variation of this connection. Instead of a natural-looking stream or pond, spring stones, a stone fountain, a water feature or even an entire swimming pond complete the ensemble of the rock garden. Modern water basins - for example stones covered with a thin film of water - are also becoming increasingly popular.
tips
In Asian gardens, water - along with stone - has a high symbolic importance. Above all in Japanese gardens, a stone or wooden bridge is also required over the obligatory pond.
