Make a Splash

The clean sound of water singing softly in a fountain brings an unforgettable element to any garden. Its natural music draws the eye, relaxes the spirit, and lifts the mood.

It doesn't take major work, either, to put one in your yard. We just tucked this simple fiberglass model in among shade-loving ferns, impatiens, and caladiums for an eye-catching look. With the wide variety of prefab garden fountains available today, you're sure to find a size and shape to suit your needs. Pick a level spot, add water as instructed, and plug it into a GFCI outlet. That way, you can listen as you plant around it. You'll have a personal oasis by afternoon's end.
