I think every garden on the Woodinville Garden Tour had some kind of water feature, stream or pond. Sometimes more than one.
 |
| This very new garden had a couple of streams, and this waterfall, as well as a drainage ditch that was landscaped and lined with rocks. |
 |
| The drainage ditch |
 |
| I could do something like this. |
 |
| This peaceful little oasis was tucked away and hidden. |
 |
| One of the delights for me on garden tours is finding all these wonderful gems. |
 |
| A second hidden waterfall and little pond. |
 |
| Perhaps not really a water feature, rain chains seem to be increasing in popularity. I've seen quite a few on tours. So much prettier than a vinyl or metal downspout. |
 |
| This garden had a natural stream running through it, which they made the most of without destroying its beauty. |
 |
| This little pond was up on the stream bank (the stream is just beyond that line of rocks). I wasn't sure if it was separate, or if they had diverted some of the water from the stream. |
 |
| This pond and waterfall was on another part of the property (it was many acres). |
 |
| This large property also had a sunken garden with a very European feel to it, with this fountain as a centerpiece. There were also numerous life-size bronze sculptures scattered throughout (a future post). |
 |
| This garden had no grass in front, just many small beds, bisected by paths and this stream, headed by a stone bubbler. |
 |
| A small pond at the other end. |
 |
| I loved this simple birdbath. |
 |
| The Japanese garden had a teahouse, with this pond that ran underneath it, full of koi and very deep. |
What do you want to see next? Sculptures and interesting garden art? Or flowers?
