How much will it cost to make an indoor garden and indoor pond?
I want to make an indoor pond with a waterfall and some fish, i also want the garden to have bamboo and various bushes and unique trees so i can get the japanese style look. How much will it cost.
Well a huge part of your question is how much the matierals are that you want to use. Some plants can be really reasonable and others can be expensive. What kind of fish you use will also made a difference in your bottom line because like Koi fish are more expensive than Gold fish. And what about the rock you use in the design.
What I would do is make a list of all the materials down to the decorative rock, pond pumps and everything to maintain your pond. Go to a garden center and find out about the plants and how much they will run you and also find out if you have options for instance if you want a tree somewhere in the mix sometimes a smaller, younger tree than you eventually want may cost less than the tree the exact size you want.
I would think you could easily be out 10,000.00 or more but, you really won’t know until you price everything out. And I would price everything out and then double it. Just because unexpected things happen and sometimes things simply end up costing more than you realise or you decide to go for a different plant or fish than you originally priced.
Hope that helps…Good luck and have fun with your renovation.

The biggest cost will be of curing the damp in the room if you install a waterfall and pond. Think this through carefully.

What i mean buy cost is it depends on you and were u wanna buy the stuff.. I could do my house for about 1500 for the water fall fish and decore now the plants are a hoel new story . they need an inviroment to live in you jsut cant plant them in any space ya want to so u may haft to get mist timers and that can lead to mold and other house hold issues

Indoor ponds are extremely difficult to install and keep healthy. There is not enough light indoors to grow the plants the pond needs nor enough to grow the bamboo and trees you wish. An indoor pond is the same as a large aquarium and needs the same care.
I have written an article on indoor ponds:

Read and you may want to reconsider.
