The Song Of Water

The sound of rippling or falling water is one of peace and there are many ways to incorporate it into your home and garden.

Bubbling fountain

These can be as simple as an urn to a more elaborate creation.

How to install: Smaller fountains are D-I-Y and come with either mains power or stand-alone solar pumps. Check before you buy. Large ones will require an electrician, plumber and local council approval because they pose a potential child drowning hazard.

Cost: From $60.
