Sorry I have been absent for a while but after reading your super-kind message, I felt a quick response would be appropriate.
It has been another busy year in the water garden. I built a new path at the back, with new 'water meadow' style planting area in between the new path and the back pond. I dug in a few more tubs with reeds and at the start of the season bought many hundreds more plants which took me months to get planted (and still have 100s more on my drive in the front🙂).
I am not looking forward to seeing my water bill but the garden and plants survived the heatwave fine. I think I topped up the ponds about four times over the summer when levels dropped more than 10-15cm.
I will post a couple of pics for now and hopefully as winter kicks in and I get a break from the garden, I can give a bit more detailed account. In the meantime, more regular, brief updates are made on my Instagram @water_meadow_gardening
Regards, Andre

And finally, a highlight of the year was when @Courtneybst and @shangman visited the water garden back in June. I was proud to show them the garden and we had a really great day exchanging ideas and experiences.
