Freshwater Ecosystems
Natural pools | Waterfalls | Creeks | Wetlands
Where there’s freshwater, there’s Life.
At Flo Gardens, we create living freshwater ecosystems, restoring the natural flow of water across the landscape.
Our mission is to protect and regenerate one of the planet’s most vital resources — freshwater.
Through natural pools, waterfalls, and creek restorations, we bring water back to life, supporting thriving ecosystems and healthy communities.

Benefits
A natural pool or waterfall is more than just a place to swim—it’s a living wellness space that soothes the nervous system, encourages mindful presence, and reconnects us with the natural world.
Negative ions are naturally created where water is moving with force—such as waterfalls, ocean waves, or streams tumbling over rocks. Some of the health benefits of breathing in negative ions and listening to the sound of running water are:
Improves respiratory function
Reduces depression
Lowers blood pressure
Improves sleep quality
Reduces stress and anxiety
Boosts mood
Improves mental clarity
