|| GARDEN | Container ponds

Container water gardens or tiny ponds are perfect for patios, decks and balconies.  Creating a pond in a pot is a simple way to add water into a garden scheme, no matter how limited the space is. Here are a few of my favourite ideas:

 TILLANDSIA is a genus of around 650 species of evergreen, perennial flowering plants in the Bromeliaceae  family . They are more commonly known as AIR PLANTS because of their natural propensity to cling wherever conditions permit: tree branches, bare rocks etc. Most Tillandsia are EPIPHYTES translating to 'upon a plant' and do not grow in soil.
