HOME SWEET HOME

Garden water fountains have been around for ages, but were mostly used by the truly green thumbs of us all.  However, with some more modern artists getting into making them, they have taken a different turn.

Classic Stone Fountain:

The classic stone fountains would be such creations as:

- Cupid
- The 2 children dancing
- Dolphin sprouting water
- Children pouring a water jug

These are just a few of the classics that were made from stone or ceramic. They have stood up against the test of time, and gives a certain charm to your garden.These types of fountains have also been known to attract certain types of wild life, such as birds, and squirrels, both who seem not to be able to get enough of them.Modern Stainless Steel Fountain:

These are starting to break into the more modernize water gardens, they do have their charm, and can be quite hypnotic to watch. Especially the ones that have the water cascading down a steal ball into the water basin of the fountain. And with the way the light tends to reflect off the metal and water at the same time, can have an interesting effect. Of course, it can also pose a problem as well if not placed in just the right place.

These types of fountains might dictate how your garden is laid out, instead of adding to it. As if it is in the wrong place, it might reflect the light badly, and all you will see is this blazing ball of white light in your garden, instead of something to look at an enjoy.

It is really up to you which garden water fountains you want to put inside your garden. Do you want to stick with the more traditional stone fountains, or go with the modernize stainless steel ones? Just remember, whichever choice you make, will make or break any garden you design. And there is a good reason why the classics have stood up against the test of time.
