Need recommendations for garden pond / veranda accessories
Actually, "veranda" isn't quite the word for it. My mother has put together
a strange thing in one corner of her back yard. It has a comfortable bench and a chair to sit down in, a little garden pond complete with small fish and some aquatic plants, and it has a roof of sorts, making it feasible to relax in even if it's raining. But it is not enclosed; there are no walls apart from the fence, so one can walk in and out of it at will, and of course so can insects. It measures perhaps 8' x 8'. I'm trying to hunt around for things that might be useful for such an environment. I don't think she needs anything for the pond (like mosquito larvae poison or whatever). I'm talking about things like a small wind chime or something else I can't even imagine. I unfortunately don't have a great deal of experience with this sort of thing so I'm sure I am overlooking some obvious possibilities. Recommendations welcome! |

I'm trying to hunt around for things that might be useful for such an environment A garden torch or solar light for evening viewing (for maximum use, get citronella oil for the torch to ward off the insects -- it works, sometimes) A chime or flag or pinwheel that moves in the wind A terra cotta wall hanging (green man, smiling sun, fish, flowers) A hanging flower basket with her favorite flower or flowers in her favorite color Herb plants or scented plants (scented geraniums, roses, lavender) A hanging fan activated with a cord that you gently pull when you want breeze HTH -- zookeeper |
