What's a Watergarden?

A watergarden can be anything from a plastic pail to an in-ground pond. As long as it holds water and you can grow plants in it, it's a water garden!

Some other examples of Water Gardens are:

  • Wooden Barrel
  • Pre-formed Plastic Pond
  • Flexible Liner Pond
  • Poured Concrete Pond
  • Metal Watering Trough

All of these can be both above ground or in-ground. The Tucson Watergardeners members have a wide range of ponds, and some even have all of the above.

For more information on watergardening, check out the articles at the bottom of the page.
