Water Feature
small text
large text

What You Need:
Water Feature - start with a store bought water feature and go from there
Or buy a pump and your own container
Stones-use the ones provided or find your own
Water Foliage- we used Blue Money Warts

Assemble 
Assemble the water feature according to the instructions. 

If you’re building your own feature, find a bowl large enough to hold enough water to cover the pump.

Decorate with Rocks 
Scatter rocks around the fountain, for added color and texture.  Rocks can also contribute to a more pleasing sound by creating multiple levels for the water to trickle down.

Decorate with Plants 
Add water-loving foliage for additional natural texture and color.  Make sure the roots of the plant are submerged in water at the bottom of the fountain. Check with your local nursery for recommendations on what type of water foliage might be best for you to use.

Enjoy 
Add the water and watch it flow.  Place it in an area where the natural humidity the fountain contributes will be able to flow about the room and where you’ll be able to enjoy the sight and sounds of your fountain.

Remember to watch the water level and add more water whenever it begins to run low.  Do not let your fountain run dry.
