Types

• An Orlando water garden may contain plants, fish such as goldfish or Koi, or a combination of the two. Orlando's hot, sunny weather will cause water to grow algae quickly, so a good filtration system is a must no matter which type of pond you choose.
  
  

Benefits

• A water garden will add beauty to your yard and value to your home in Orlando, since so much time is spent outdoors. When you design or add to your water garden, visit nearby Epcot for a peek at the way the professionals at Disney World put together water gardens and features throughout the park. Many of Orlando's local parks also offer inspiring water features.
  
  

Warning

• Orlando is home to a variety of water-loving reptiles and amphibians, including snakes, turtles and alligators. Expect to lose a few of your smaller fish each season, and check the area around the water garden carefully before performing maintenance.
