Maybe this is not the best June ever to talk about such garden features but water, as distinct from incessant rain and cool weather, can add interest, tranquility and even a touch of glamour to many gardens. You can take your pick from various ways of introducing decorative water at two days of sales at Sheppard's Auction House in Durrow where the annual Glantelwe Gardens sale will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday.
