Floating pond plants float on top of the surface of pond water. Their leaves are usually visible as they rest on top of the water. Their roots usually are resting in the water, underneath the surface. These plants are unique because many of them derive most of their nutrients from the very water they are resting in. Many floating plants don't grow more quickly and easily than plants living underneath the water.

It sounds as if we’re always pushing large ponds that cater to the health of fish. This may be true. We simply adore the little babies. Some folks, however, prefer a smaller or less complicated pond system or a simple water feature in the garden. They want a spot in the garden that hardly ever needs tending where they can sit and relax without having to worry about biological filtration that converts ammonia to nitrites, etc. for the sake of the fish in the pond. We know just the thing for these folks. A small waterfall, a pleasant pool filled with natural greenery or an elegant fountain hidden in the garden’s secret room are all ways to enhance the garden with water features without all the work. If an occasional frog inhabits the pond, well, that’s okay too.
