**NJNLA Certificate of Merit award winner.** This project was featured in Country Gardens, a publication by Better Homes & Gardens. This relaxing space is perfect for peaceful retreat and relaxation. This water garden features multiple streams and waterfalls, each pond is full of koi. The patio features a cantilevered feeding rock and stepping stones leading through one of the ponds to a hidden seating area on the far side of the patio. An interesting feature of this water garden is that one end of the pond is a marsh. The patio surrounding the various ponds, streams, and waterfalls is a bluestone patio and is edged by creeping mazus and creeping thyme. The lotus flower featured in a couple of photos blooms one day a year and just so happened to be in bloom the day of this photoshoot!
