Van De Voorde Elemental Design Group The grass at the water's edge is Isolepsis (Scirpus) cernus which is also known as Fiber Optic Grass. The project was $25K to 30K when built in 1998.
An outdoor water garden is an obvious "zen" space - a private spot to meditate and enjoy the scenery. This combination of colors and variety of textures could be easily appropriated for indoor spaces, as well.
Water acts as a soothing element throughout a garden. This exotic mini pond conveys the calming characteristics of nature while the cascade adds layers of relaxing sounds.
Another smaller, simpler tranquil feature. This feature is long and narrow, capturing the space available with a beautiful pond complete with water plants, lilies, and edging plants to accent the soft bow in the otherwise rectangular form.
If you are lucky enough to have a small pond built into your home's landscape then you might want to think about adding real fish to the pond. It's always a treat to add new living things to a tranquil space.
