You can just fill a big plant pot with water and put it on decking or patio to add a cool, summer feature. Just add some floating plants for a mini-pond effect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/plantpot.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2644\" alt=\"Plant pot\" src=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/plantpot.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/plantpot.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/plantpot-375x500.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">p<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Landscaping<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you&#8217;re looking to renovate your garden, this beautiful water feature will need the help of a landscaper. It reminds me of an oriental garden, with straight lines and a strong sense of calm. The big, open leaved plants help with this too, and I love the bench at the bottom of the garden where you can enjoy the view.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/landscaping.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2645\" alt=\"landscaping\" src=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/landscaping.jpg\" width=\"495\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/landscaping.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/landscaping-375x500.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhg.com\/gardening\/landscaping-projects\/landscape-basics\/water-garden-landscaping-ideas\/#page=8\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">p<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the heatwave gathers pace in the UK, there&#8217;s nothing more relaxing or refreshing than a cool garden to spend a hot day.
