In order to garden serves its primary function – a place where they love to spend time, it should be as close to nature as possible. In other words, that is to be filled with four basic natural elements: air, fire, stone and water.
So argue the oriental philosophy. As practice shows, it is in the garden containing all these four elements, where a person feels most comfortable, natural and peaceful.
Mediterranean climate of Montenegro allows for one particularity in living: almost year-round people in this country spend their time outside. Therefore the creation of a comfortable, beautiful and harmonious garden, so-called “green room”, is a logical and natural extension of one’s home interior.
If there is certain space on your plot, we recommend to make a small pond, of natural form, framed by colourful stones and pebbles and variety of colour and form of many water plants.
Just seeing the water surface already is a powerful stimulator of psychological equilibrium and promotes natural relaxation of the body. If you want to liven up your pond, then optionally you can put ornamental fish there, unpretentious in care. Most often it’s koi- Japanese crap. Sometime it could be goldfish. (More about pond and fish later).
But there is nothing that relaxes tense nerves as the living water- running or flowing or falling, glorifying not only vision but also hearing. There is a number of painless solutions for vitalizing the water in your garden, just choose, what form is most appealing to you: fountain, waterfall, or even a mountain stream.
