DIY Garden Fountains

Water features are always an exciting addition to a garden. You can turn an otherwise nondescript little space into an oasis with the right kind. This could be a small pond you make yourself using a liner, a bubbling gravel fountain, a large raised fountain, or a garden fountain. You can set up a water feature with descending pools, densely planted, and with little aquatic touches such as ceramic frogs and snails.
