Bog Garden as part of a waterfall ?

taralynna
16 years ago

I have a pond and a waterfall now. The waterfall needs to be rebuilt because it looks to "made-up". I would like to use a preformed pond as part of the waterfall and put in it some bog plants. My long term plan is for a Japanese garden so the plants would be Iris, horsetails, these sorts.

My questions are: Has anyone used a preformed pond as part of a waterfall? Will it work? Any advice ?
