Default Garden Fountain

A year ago, my mom and I saw a nice garden fountain at a mall. It was so lovely but so expensive so we didn't buy it. So we looked for a cheaper version! Luckily, we were able to find one.

It's really a nice addition to our garden. My friends tell me that it's refreshing to look and listen to the fountain.

One of my neighbors build a garden fountain and it looks great! We listen to it during the night when everything is quite and it is very relaxing...
This is one of my future projects for my garden. Maybe I'd build something more like a small waterfall.

I have never put a fountain in a garden or yard. I would like to know if this is a difficult task. I have wanted one for a long time but thought that it is time consuming and takes a lot of water. Can you tell me more about how long it took you to setup and if there is a way to recycle the water?

No, it is not a very difficult task. It didn't take us too long to set-up the fountain...maybe an hour or more because the fountain is pre-made.

Also, it doesn't take a lot of water...maybe less than 15 liters. It depends on how big your fountain is.

Mostly what you need is an outside plug.Most are easily set up in no time at all. Not much water needed either to run them .I love them.

I have on in my garden and it's lovely, I love the sound of flowing water. Would definitely recommend one to someone who doesn't have one, if you want to save some money then wait for the winter, when water fountains are on sale in most garden centres, you can get a great bargain like I did =)
