Creating a Water Garden with Waterfall 🌿💦 // Garden Answer 

Who else here starts their day with Garden Answer and a cup of coffee? Laura & Aaron are such a blessing! ❤️🌱☕️

I'm really liking the videography and editing in the sections where the music is playing. I also like the, sorta, blurring effect that's being created. As well, the music selections for these have been very nice. Great editing and content.

Nothing better to start my day than a cup of coffee and Laura’s sweet sounding voice and great smile. Loved this video and would love this in my patio area. I am almost 80 and admire small ponds and the sound of water I think this is something I might be able to do. Thank you.

I would love to have a pond/ water feature in my garden, but was always afraid of maintenance/upkeep. I think something like this might be up my alley/something I can handle. Thanks for sharing this.😊😊

GM that aqua garden mini pond in the beginning took my breath away I mean 😍😍😍 wow I’m in love.

When I saw the bags I thought you had gotten some little fish for Benjamin to put in there. I'm sure Russell and Cheddar would love them too lol

I have a small deck, and I've been wanting something "different" to put out there to enjoy. This hits the spot with me and would be perfect, I think. I may just treat myself and give it a go. Thanks for sharing, Laura!

Definitely do more pond stuff, especially wildlife ponds.

Hi Laura, Love your videos. I am an Aquascape contractor in NC. We use all sorts of ground loving plants in our ponds. As you suggested, we remove the soil first and plant directly in the rocks. One of my favorites are impatiens. They add so much color to a water feature. The floaters are nice (water hyacinth and water lettuce), cardinal flower, pitcher plants, venus fly traps (carnivorous would need a little more earth under them and can stay in containers, but soaking in water). I am not an expert on the carnivorous plants but have them in a floating pot in my pond and they are doing fantastic. Thank you for sharing your gardening skills with us.

I have a patio pond on our covered porch and love it! I surround it every summer with my house plants, It's a 55 gal. round container that I added a fountain in along with a few rocks from our creek, I added sand in the bottom and a trio of Marimo moss balls. I also have Hymenocallis-spider lilies, marsh ferns, and creeping jenny planted in semi submerged pots, along with bamboo and some cuttings from several house plants (Brazil philodendron, Syngonium podophyllum, and marble queen pothos). They root really nicely in there as well as help clean the water for the 3 goldfish (common comets) which have done really well year round outside. I'm sure you all will enjoy your new water feature!

I wonder if you could use Baby Tut for this water feature. I think it’s kind of a semi-aquatic plant; I love its texture and I think it may look lovely. I love your channel and look forward to watching your video every morning. In case you don’t have a video any day, I’ll just rewatch those I already watched, always enjoyable. Thanks for making them. 😘😘😘

Aaron did an outstanding job on filming this and editing it!

That's really nice! I love that it has a light too. Wish it was powered by solar or USB cable. I have 2 water fountains in my garden, and both are powered with a USB power bank. On a full charge, they run for 16 hours. I have four power banks. 2 are charging while the other 2 are providing me with relaxing sound of water. I switch them out and have water flow all day and night.

You make EVERYTHING look/seem so EASY which helps me and i am sure so many others agree, to get out there and do something whether large projects or small. I did this year...it has turned into a complete failure ---i never knew petunias and geraniums could fry from the heat...they were watered but their blooms literally fried in one day of 35C and i don't understand but hey the sweet potato vine took it like a champ. Such a beast..Love your entire family

Good morning hun🌼 l love this waterfall it’s beautiful 😍 nice selection of plant too😉

Love aquascape! We put in a pond 2 years ago and used their kit for our waterfall, skimmer, and liner. One of my favorite pond plants is forget me nots. They love moving water from the waterfall, and they have dainty blue blooms all summer! Ours are still going strong!

What a cute small tropical rain forest! Iris’s also do well in water landscapes. Beautiful Laura!

Finally you set up the pond! was wondering when you would do it.. it turned out lovely❤️ and all the plants are beautiful🌿👍

This looks great! Welcome to the family!

This is a wonderful alternative for those of us who either don’t have the space or time to have a pond and don’t want to commit to an expensive fountain. I could imagine it on an apartment deck or tucked into a bed near a patio. I think it would be best enjoyed in the evening given the light and soft flow of water.

Thank you for the great video I feel inspired to do something with my mini round fountain and water pump! 🤗

I love it. It looks so natural like a mini rainforest! Nice product.

A year ago I built a pond in our closed in porch. It is 8ft x 9 1/2ft x 3 1/2ft deep. In it I put plants, rosey minnows, gold fish, and koi. The koi are determined to rip out the plants so I have to keep replanting them. I had a real hard learning curve to keep the koi alive and I lost many. When I started my koi where 3-4 inches and now most are over 10 inches. My wife Ann and our 2 Sons like to stand out on the porch with me and just enjoy watching the fish. They pick on me about fish fry Friday. No one is eating my fish.

Laura , Aaron and Benjamin , you guys are part of our family 👪 here too. Love from Ohio

Love this product demo Love the humor😂 Thanks for a fun video!

Wow a light under the fall. That came together very nice.

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 THANK YOU!!! I’ve had my eye on this feature for a year now.i think it’s time to jump in and order it finally!!! I have a ton of peace lilies in water too!! THANK YOU!!!! You’re amazing!!!

Such a beautiful little water feature It would be gorgeous in a courtyard

Hi Laura! you should put two goldfish in it. that would be great for Benjamin! So fun!

I do love water features. And Aquascape always comes through with the extras. They always know the little touches to make it extra special, like the light. About time Laura starts her water plant obsession. I do love water plants.

Oh I love it. It looks so peaceful and the light for nights is awesome 👌 ✨

what a great container for a small space and want water and plants very pretty. great job

Good morning, such a beautiful water garden! 😍💕

Sweet little fountain garden ❤️ Loved the editing of the rocks falling into colander! Very cool! And had to laugh at the ❌! 😂👍🏻

I have been waiting for this video. I am a big fan of Aquascape and The Pond Guy!! I am hoping you will collaborate with them on a water feature on your new property.🌿💧 go together.

I just bought the same little fountain today as a "starter" fountain. I'm happy to find this video to see how you plant it up.

The container is just gorgous. I thought it looked Cooper....but how fun and absolutely just stunning the plastic material turned out.

I just want to add that I really appreciate that you consistently live up to the name of your channel. “Garden Answer” is just that - you have provided answers to so many gardening questions and so much encouragement and inspiration. This is one of many examples where you’ve shared a form of gardening that doesn’t require much in the way of budget, experience or even a yard. And you’re so gracious on the rare occasion someone is less than kind in the comments section. This is already too long, but I just want you to know how appreciated and respected you are by your viewers.💚

This is on the wish list. Love how easy this is & how fun it would be to have one. Thanks for showing us exactly how it looks at night. Love it.

I love it Laura, now we need some fishies😆.

Hey y'all, good morning!!

I think Benjamin will love watching the water flowing, it’s beautiful. Thank you Laura for sharing

Hi Laura. I have the larger patio pond. Banana plants and the baby and prince tuts do very well in the ponds. I also use fabric pond pot liners from aqua pond to put soil rooted plants in my pond. Works great.

Fluval stratum substrate is a great choice for this project but if you ever want to add more semi aquatic plants or fully aquatic plants I would look into a live substrate like something from caribsea. I really enjoyed watching this project and I love the layout and I can’t wait to see it in future videos.

The bamboo plant is such a great idea!!

Watching Garden Answer has become a habit. I’m even checking in from work (when appropriate). Thank you for the company and providing a positive and pleasant note to my days. Stay safe. 👏

Your favorite kind of compliment. After watching your video this morning a video popped up from "How's It Growing". I know your favorite thing is to inspire us. You inspired How's It Growing and she does shout outs to you a lot. I thought it was really cool to see one of the ripples in your wake of inspiration.

Watched this after a 60+ hour week, loved the rocks and water going backwards so much that I backed up the video several times; thanks for the creativity and pleasant beginning to the weekend! You guys are the best.

Please get an aqua scape pond on your new property! I would love to see you work with more water plants.

I start my day with Garden Answer and a cup of coffee too.

Aside from being a novice gardener, I'm also a novice aquarist with a planted betta sorority aquarium. Good choice on the plants! Java ferns prefer for their base to not be submerged in substrate, so you can tie them down with string. Fluval stratum is a great aquatic substrate because it maintains a fairly low pH. For reference, my tap water is normally very hard and a pH of 8 and added to the aquarium with Fluval Stratum, it goes right down to 6.7. If you want your plants to really thrive and push growth, you can add aquatic plant fertilizer along with a CO2 booster (can find both at Petco) and watch a ton of growth happen quickly! I would love to try this in my yard.

Coffee with Laura is the best way to start the day for sure. What a fun gift and interesting to see it put together and working. Thank you for sharing!!

I really like that water feature! Well done as always.

I love water features - my wildlife pond is...well, a bit wild - but this is a really nice addition to the garden. You really went for it on the editing side and obviously had a lot of fun - and everything you did worked really well...I can’t resist a bit of slow-motion.

Every day! That one is here. My day starts around mid day as I am a night person. My bed time is usually about 3-4 am. Then sleep till sometime around noon. I love the pond water feature. It's lovely. TFS! Have a safe one.

I love that setup, so pleasing to the ear and eyes. It's a little pricey for me. I will have to save up a while to get one of those. Everything is out of sight though when it comes to our budget. We are retired and on a fixed income and just have to watch for the stuff we really want. lol My problem is, my gardening is way more expensive now since I have time to do it. lol Stay well, stay safe.

LOVE this! There is just something about the sound of water, going at the movement this looks like you have it, that speaks calm.

Love that waterfall, just the size to move indoors or out.

Great editing. Very peaceful water garden.

That is gorgeous! And the music you used is so pretty! Love it!

Hi Laura!❤️ I didn’t know that peace lily can withstand constant water. Im learning a lot in watching your videos.☺️

Hi Laura! That fountain turned out pretty after you added your touches to it. It's way too expensive for me. Plus, I don't have a place to plug it in outside and it's too big for inside. Thank you so much for sharing!

Really nice. Super easy. I’m doing a little pond thing that’s not so easy...but fun! Love the fancy editing!

OMG! Two videos in one day!😍💚

This looks like a super simple setup. Not a ton of parts you have to worry about getting clogged or cleaning! I love the addition of the plants! So pretty!

First of all I want to say, I start each day with a cup of coffee and your videos. They have been especially wonderful during this time of limited exposure to family and friends. Sharing yourself and family in a genuine way brings joy to my day. Thank you❤ Really great video i love the water garden! It turned out beautifully. I am in Wisconsin and we have a huge potted indoor peace Lilly that could probably benefit from being divided. I am thinking a water garden would be a wonderful use for A slip or two.

These look awesome. Definitely going to share this video with my bosses in hopes they'll order some for the garden center. Fun!

That is excellent! I might have to setup one of those water gardens outside for the birds. They prefer running water and that would be perfect! Thank you, Laura!

Love to see you trying something outside of your comfort zone! It's not easy! 👍😊

Love the result and the editing! Reversing the washing if the stones was fun! U just taught me that i am underwatering my peace lily! Thanks for enriching our lives!!

So pretty. Makes me want to get one of these. Very nice! Great plant selection too.

Oh! I'm all about this little pond!

Great early morning video to wake up with!! Thanks!😊😊😊😊

Welcome to the world of aquaponics! My love for gardening actually started with getting live plants for my aquariums and it just grew from there! I now have several tanks in the house and a 1500+ gallon pond outside, all with live plants. That introduced me to my love for indoor plants and now this summer, my husband and I are putting in a pretty large flower bed in the front of our house. But yeah, I just came to say be careful, its addicting! Lol. I watch your channel everyday and look forward to possible new water features on your property in the future!!

Hi Garden answer It looks lovely maybe a couple of goldfishes. thank you for sharing

Hi Laura, thanks for this video. This is something I would definitely love to have on my living room table. My living room carries a type beach-relaxed vacation vibes with type minimal furnishings so this would absolutely top it off. No matter what was in my living room though...I just bought it on amazon from Aquascape. I also found water plants on Facebook Marketplace that I’ll buy to put in my mini pond. Yeaaaaaaay 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 My husband do Marketplace quite often so we know all involved. I don’t usually do this but once in a while I’ll splurge wisely cause I was trying to do a succulents container for my living room center piece but the container was too small, so I placed it somewhere else, but, this will work. Thanks Laura.😁👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Looks great! The thin stemmed, lanky type ones can be cut back as needed and the cuttings stuck into the rocks to grow additional plants. Also, you may end up needing fertilizer for the plants, especially without fish in there to generate some for you. Easy Green from Aquarium Co-op is the best, in my opinion, and super simple to use: one pump per 10 gallons in your aquarium, etc.

Really love the what is Water Gardens. I love the slow motion

Love the video effects and the water feature too!

This might be nice in the gazebo near your fireplace. The lighting would be lovely by an evening fire.

How lovely. :) What a fun thing to try. Thanks for sharing this.

Simple and elegant! I've seen few makes of these, which were quite much more full of plants and stuff. I'd totally want one on my balcony for summer, if my dog would let it be.

This is one of the nicest little ponds I have seen and I love the use of the peace lily in it.

I watch everyday with my coffee too! Got love it! Thank you Aquascape!

Very tropical. Would be lovely here in Denver to beautifully add some humidity to my home.

Laura, what a great project! The video production was perfect. Love the addition of humor. Now, to finally have that garden pond that I have always wanted. You've inspired me to get cracking on that.

What a nice lady , honest and focused

Wow Laura it came out amazing thank you for sharing.

I love that! It looks so easy to set up and like you said, no splashing = perfect for indoors! It’s beautiful! 🤩

I took my children down to Andrews a few days ago and we were delighted to see this in person! They thought it was so awesome! Especially after seeing it in your video first! 💧 🌱

I really like this water feature and the fact that you can enjoy it in the evening is nice too! I may have to purchase one after we move and are all set up. Thanks for sharing!

Exactly what I want to do for our outdoor sitting area!!

Koi pond in the future? Ducks? More water futures? Would love to see those.

Tea and toast for me😁. I need one like this to muffle the traffic noise where l live. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Laura and Aaron, your videos are fantastic! I love the videos when you venture out from regular gardening as you give us great unique ideas. I would love more videos on indoor plants as well. You are doing a fantastic job! Thank you!

Hi Laura, Anubias have rhizomes that cant be buried in substrate otherwise it would rot and die, usually its roots is only submersed in the substrate or attached to a piece of drift wood under water where it can stick itself

I enjoyed this video but I really enjoyed looking at the vines on the trellis😊

Aaron you do a fabulous job on filming and editing. Together the two of you make such a great team. Keep on keepin on and God bless you and give you strength!

I love how easy that was to put together. I love a water feature. Is this to be kept inside or kept outside, or does it matter

So glad you didnt add fish to this pond! They need more room/water than this provides. It’s perfect for plants! This would be a fun addition to my porch and it’s nice that you can move it inside for winter without worrying about a mess.
