Water Garden Gallery

All gardeners will tell you water is a most important feature in any garden. Sitting by running water is inspiring, dreamy, relaxing. Water is also the lifeblood of many gardens - obviously needed for plants to thrive. The water features at Mooseys are semi-natural (a large irrigation pond and a water race), and I hope you enjoy the pictures.

This garden by the water race is usually peaceful and sheltered, but if the strong winds are blowing it's rather too noisy to relax here.

Middle bridge spans the water race right in the middle of the property. There are different types of coloured flaxes edging the path from the bridge.
