I felt we already had a water feature...a garden hose.
I admit I wasn't crazy about the idea at first (so many are cheesy looking) especially when he told me he wanted to place it in the same sunny spot as my 2 precious tomato plants! But he scored this one for only $50 on Craigslist and we compromised on a shady area away from the sunny flower spots, so I'm happy with it now. Its modest size doesn't overwhelm the space and it drowns out some of the noise from the neighbors' air conditioner by adding a nice tranquil sound. Turns out, this exact same fountain retails in our local garden center for $350!
1. We tweaked the fountain by adding some large river rocks to the basin part because...
2. There's a fine line between a tranquil water sound and a noise that reminds you of someone peeing.
Is there a brand name written anywhere on that fountain? I absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteI looked on the fountain, but couldn't find any brand. There may be something on the bottom of the fountain, but unfortunately I would have to empty it and tip it over to see (it's made of concrete, so it's way heavy!)
That's cool. Thanks. I found something similar on this garden fountain website. I just have to search eBay and Craigslist for similar names now.
