View of the water feature at first entrance at Greenscape Gardens. View is looking northwesterly towards the intersection of Dougherty Ferry & Barrett Station Rd. The pond was constructed in September of 2004 to replace the fountain that was orginally in this area. The pond is three feet deep in the middle and the waterfall is approximately one foot tall cascading over a small series of ledges. The waterfalls creates a very tranquil sound and actually drowns out the traffic from the intersection. The stones were placed to replicate a natural ambiance and was tastefully landscape with perennial and annual flowers. Note the palm tree which is one of the trademarks for Greenscape Gardens. Regretfully, the tropicals had to be relocated inside the heated greenhouses since mid November. Today the pond has a light covering of ice to reflect the cold temperatures of the past week. Ice stairs have formed on the waterfall and the koi and goldfish appear ghostlike under the surface. But already the daylight hours are getting longer and spring will once again herald a new year of gardening.
