Fountains for Your Garden

There are many ideas to use for your garden fountain. You could use garden fountains as the basis for your theme in your garden. There are many fountains that resemble animals, flowers and plants. Then there are also fountains of statues of people and religious themes like the famous angels. Once you decide on the theme you intend to use in your garden, you can create a beautiful and interesting themed garden by adding the right fountain and the necessary accessories to create the affect of the theme.

If it is a religious garden theme that you want to follow, you can sprinkle religious accessories in the garden. These accessories can include garden flags, welcome signs, statues or wind chimes; in fact, anything that you can think of to make your garden a special sight to the beholder. You can make the garden more interesting by maintaining uniformity in the color and types of materials used. If you like copper, you could use all copper ornaments, and of course, a copper garden fountain. The copper fountain will be the highlight of the garden!

You can create a floral themed garden using a floral garden fountain. For this, you will of course need colorful, garden accessories. You could place some floral ornaments along flower beds, pathways and fences to improve the look of the garden. Once this is done with, you could add some statues and fountains that are made either of stone or fiberglass. Fountains having floral patterns on them give the finishing touch to the floral garden of yours.

If you are an animal lover, you could consider creating an animal themed garden. Animal themed gardens are great ideas for a garden as animals naturally blend with nature. Copper animal ornaments are an interesting choice for an animal themed garden as these ornaments change to a lovely green finish over the passage of time. So whatever the animal you choose as ornaments, the green finish it develops over time makes the ornaments look realistic. If it is birds that fascinate you, you could add garden flags, wind chimes having bird designs and signs in the garden. And along with this, you just have to add a lovely garden fountain with birds engraved on it and a sweet, beautiful bird bath to give the final touch to the bird theme garden.

Whatever is the theme that you decide on, it is better to first find out if you have sufficient space to hold a fountain. If you have limited space, it is better to opt for a wall fountain as they take less space, and appear to be hanging from the wall. Or you could perhaps consider a decorative and colorful table top fountain to be used as a centerpiece for your patio tables. Of course, the regular garden fountain is the one that will attract the maximum attention to it. So if you have the space, and the budget, this is the better choice
