TV gardener David Domoney aims to encourage more people to add water features to their homes and gardens as he enters a new partnership with OASE.
Taking on the role of brand ambassador for the aquatic equipment firm, David hopes that more homeowners will discover the delights of water features.
“Since lockdown, many gardeners are keen to expand their hobby into new, exciting areas and water gardening is a popular choice because the sound and movement enhances the relaxing atmosphere of the space,” he said.
“When you install water it adds a new dimension to your design as well as more planting opportunities. From water lilies flowering on a pond while fish swim beneath, to the sound of tranquil water flowing from a self-contained water feature, the beauty of adding water can be as big or small as your garden dictates.
“Combining lighting, plants and water movement will bring a whole new feel to your outside space.”
From filtration and liners to pumps and connectors, there is a lot for homeowners to think about but even planning and assembling the pond can be a benefit, says David.
The star of ITV’s Love Your Garden alongside Alan Titchmarsh added that newcomers should enjoy the process of working towards achieving the finished product of a calming and relaxing space.
With many people living in flats or apartments with little or no green space, the benefits of water features and nature can be achieved indoors too, with OASE’s range of aquariums, he said.
