A familiar and popular feature in many a Thai garden is the Lotus Pond.
Thai Lotus ponds come in many shapes and forms, and can be either a central focus to the garden or a feature or relaxation point.
Adding water to any garden is a win-win situation, as when combined with the right planting, will increase the natural look and atmosphere of any landscape.
The addition of a Lotus Pond also opens the doors for many other enhancements. Water falls, rockeries and the use of natural stone in and around Lotus Ponds will assist in creating a natural feel. As well as this, ceramic and stone features, figureines and animals, as well as other accessories can be added around a pondscape to help add unique talking points and individuality.
