Water Gardening News
World-wide Features

Water gardening is a truly global hobby. While there are constraints of climate, and sometimes legislation as to what a gardener might grow in his or her pond, and for the fish-keeper similar constraints as to the fish which may be enjoyed, many of the things that are happening in other parts of the world with our hobby are still of great interest. There are seven regional water gardening websites managed by International Horticultural Communications Pty Limited, the company that brings you this website.

The features sections often raise thought provoking and controversial issues.
These provide a broad view of the international water gardening and aquatics scene. The features section of each website often brings thought provoking stories of issues of the day. Occasionally these cross geographical boundaries and are published on each website in exactly the same way. However most features discussed are specific to a region.

Currently the life of each feature is defined by its topicality. While some features will be of an ephemeral nature and may be archived after a few weeks, others will remain for several months or longer. The feature on Water Gardening and the Drought, which touches most Australian gardeners.
