Drab Garden? Get Over It With A Garden Bridge

By Kathy Moran

(HIT) - Garden bridges can be traced to the earliest civilizations, where they decorated landscapes from the stately grounds of ancient Roman and Greek aristocracy, to the exotic water gardens of Japan and China. They were built as much for decoration as for practicality, and, in many cases, were designed to be in harmony with the surrounding plant life and the water.

There has always been a certain mystique about water, with different cultures using it to symbolize life, rebirth, purification, immortality, tranquility, and more. Its ability to induce feelings of serenity and contentment, while rejuvenating the spirit, has made it central to the gardens that have been used as places of meditation in many civilizations. The bridge has always been equally important in the scheme of the landscape, as the vantage point from which to enjoy the full splendor of the scenery.

The irresistible allure of water has caused another renewal, in the current resurgence of interest in water gardens, which are springing up in backyards everywhere.
