Garden fountains bring a touch of class to any garden, patio or yard and are available online for any area, large or small. The range of these beautiful water features that is available is astounding, and most are affordable to any purse or wallet.
You can accentuate the fantasy with fountains made of angels, cherubs or Greek gods, or simply go for a young child playing with baby birds, as the water sparkles and dances into a basin set with acanthus leaves on a classical pedestal.
If you prefer a fountain with cherubs, then how about four of them playing in four foot fountain, a reproduction of a 15th century French design with two bowls, one flowing into the other. Or how about something irresistibly cute – a well-mannered St. Bernard patiently quenching its thirst.
There are many more fountains to be found for small or medium sized areas, and some collect the water so perfectly that they would be suitable for a patio or atrium. Of particular beauty is a fountain with seven bamboo pillars. Water cascades down from one to the other and is collected in the last to be recirculated back to the top. This fountain is suitable for use outdoors or indoors.
You can even get a cherub wall fountain in a design from Tuscany, of particular benefit if you have no room in your garden for a full round design. This sits against any wall and also collects all the water that is circulated by means of the pump provided.
If you have a pond or a pool how would it look with a solid bronze otter sitting nearby? This statue stands 16 inches high and will add class and a touch of fantasy.
Many outdoor fountains need care, especially in winter. Freezing temperatures can cause damage. Always follow the manufacturer’s care instructions to ensure years or use.
