I want to put in a small water garden.
Which is better full sun, shade or part sun/shade?

I would suggest that a small water garden would be best situated in the shade rather than in the full sun where the water can become overheated.

Yup. Small water gardens are harder to control the water temps. There are plenty of shade loving plants that will be perfectly happy in your little water garden. ;-)

if it were me and i'm not expert. i just love lilly pads. therefor i would do a part shade. maybe in a place where it got morning sun and afternoon shade since it is hoter in the after noon. i have one in the shade and my lillys wont bloom at all..
