This week’s inspirational round-up of aquascapes takes us to the outdoors to get reconnected with nature. Aquascapes are water features that are designed  by arranging plants, stones, and other natural elements in an aesthetically pleasing way. Although they look like natural ponds and streams, the aquascapes in this round-up were all artfully crafted by talented contractors on Hometalk.
