Shade was an important feature of the garden, provided by trees and by grapevines supported between columns. When rows of trees were planted far from the river, wells had to be dug ten meters deep to reach water for irrigation. The water was usually hoisted into the pond from the river by hand, or using a shadouf. Sometimes, as in the garden of Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri, the pond was in the shape of a T, with one part of the T connected to a river or canal. Tomb paintings show that grape vines were sometimes planted atop pergolas to provide shade to the garden.
