The sound of gently running water creates a special atmosphere in the garden and any of these great designs would make a great feature in the landscape. The solar water fountains are described in an article which I found on the Garden Lovers Club website.
A water fountain is one of?the most fascinating and pleasant?additions you could make to any garden.
Any moving water feature brings so much enjoyment: the sound is meditative, the sight is beautiful, and the possibilities are endless. With the modern convenience of solar panel power, you can place a fountain virtually anywhere in your yard or garden, never having to worry about stringing cords across the lawn or using electricity.

We want to share the inspiration and ideas that have piqued our interest, in the hopes that you too can enjoy this dynamic piece of garden zen.
Some of the fountains featured below are ready-made products you can purchase and have running right out of the box, with a bit of water added of course.
