For gardeners, a garden pool opens up a whole new world. Long accustomed to the frequent problem of providing adequate drainage for plants, pool owners face an entirely different form of gardening in which plants thrive on water alone. Water plants add new colors, shapes, and textures to a garden, especially the hardy and tropical water lilies, oxygenating plants and grasses, and such floating plants as the water hyacinth.
