With summer just around the corner (here in North America at least), we can be assured that we will get at least a few weeks, and hopefully months, of gorgeous outdoor weather. If you have been dreaming of sitting on the patio or out in the garden, enjoying the fresh air, then you are not alone. People from around the globe do this daily, of course, and a lot of them have come to appreciate the outdoor garden, especially those with some sort of water fountain or pond, for bringing calmness and peacefulness into their lives.

Feng shui enthusiasts will make sure their home has a water element placed strategically for the benefit of their health and well being. According to feng shui, water fountains should be located in the Southeast, North or East section of the outdoor space because Southeast is for prosperity, north is for a person’s life and career choices and East is for health and family. Although it has been said not to locate your fountain in the south part of your garden, due to conflict of heat (fire) with the water element, we believe the south is actually okay for placement.

Whatever you yearn for in your garden space, there should also be a place for a water fountain or at least a bird bath. Water has been the calming effect for centuries and if you should add a bird bath to your outdoor space as well as an outdoor water fountain, you will be in for some very pleasant hours of entertainment. With all the birds we have in North America, you will not be disappointed at what shows up at your fountain and bird bath.

Water fountains have been available for centuries,as is evidenced by many fountains, including the Trevi Fountain in Rome which is thought to be the most beautiful of all Roman fountains. You do not need to have one quite as large as that one, but there certainly are many choices for you. There are small ones, tall ones, little ponds with pipes running through them to encourage lily pads and gorgeous water lilies, also known as Nymphaeaceae. There are wall fountains, bird bath fountains, rock garden landscaped fountains, indoor bubble panel fountains, small table fountains, solar fountains, expensive fountains and fountains you can build yourself. The list is endless so why not treat yourself and find out how much enjoyment can be had.

You will see from the extensive fountain choices that there should never be a home without a water fountain for lack of design. There should also never be a pricing issue that would not allow you to have at least a small water element in your home – bringing with it a relaxing atmosphere that will give you many, many hours of contentment.
