I think sometimes we forget what our garden is supposed so be… A respite from the rest of the world. Some place calm, tranquil and relaxing, even if we play and entertain there as well! Introducing water as an element in our garden is a good way to disguise noise in the neighborhood, add a sense of nature, and soothe ourselves. These 7 soothing DIY garden fountains are meant to inspire you, but I hope you pick one to recreate for your own yard, or let one convince you that you need one of these. And BTW, making your own fountain saves money over buying one as well. More cash for those prize Dahlias!
Our feature project above – Charlotte at ‘Ciburbanity’ made this DIY garden fountain created with concrete and Goodwill! Click on over to her tutorial to find out what I mean. I love spheres in the garden, they remind us about the circle of everything, which is nature’s deepest truth.
From ‘Central Texas Gardener‘, learn how Elayne Lansford made this glass table top into a water wall! This is amazing! I think we need to head out to the thrift store to look for an old patio table! Good instructions and step by step photos.
