| Three-tier Courtyard Fountain |
Garden ponds and fountains were once mainly for the
very rich. Today, anyone can have a garden pond or fountain. A fountain or
waterfall can be included almost anyplace--even if your "yard" is
limited to a patio or balcony.
Adding water to your patio can be as simple as
setting out a shallow dish of water for use as a birdbath. Any shallow
container at least 6 inches wide and a half-inch deep will work. Pie pans,
garbage can lids, or flowerpot bases work well in small spaces. One tip is to
take the base of a clay pot, and sit it on top of a clay pot that has been
turned upside down, fill the container with clean water and wash it every day
or two.
Adding a fountain may be a little more challenging for small spaces but can be done see the simple fountain and courtyard fountain below.
