Pond garden
A pond garden is different from other gardens in the fact that you use aquatic plants in a pond garden. The two different categories of plants used in a pond garden are submerged oxygenator plants and floating oxygenator plants. The submerged plants are planted directly into the biological media underneath the water. The floating plants are planted directly onto the surface of the water.

Some of the submerged plants that you use in a pond garden are Anacharis, Vallisneria, Hornwort, and Red Ludwigia. These are mainly just green plants that look similar to seaweed, but provide much needed nutrients to the water. Some of the floating plants used in a pond garden are Water Lilies, Parrots Feather, Water Hyacinths, and Water Lettuce. These plants, though also providing nutrients, are more for decorative purposes in your pond garden.

Water Lilies come in a variety of bright, beautiful colors such as purple, blue, red, pink, yellow, and white. They can be very showy and are definitely the star of any pond garden. Water Hyacinths are a soft purple-blue and lovely, as well. But be warned about Water Hyacinths, in some areas of the world they are considered weeds and they grow rapidly. The other floating plants provide a nice green background to the Lilies and Hyacinths. Using these plants, your pond garden will be a beautiful centerpiece of your backyard.
