Water feature

Water features are designed to be wet or so you might think.
There is a breed of water feature that I think are ‘wet’ in the pejorative sense. That includes these ball shaped fountains above and other plastic bubbling devices.


Water Features In Order of Preference

  • A natural lake with soft edges, fish and water lilies.
  • A stream and streamside gurgling along a chalk bed. I would tolerate a man-made stream with pump if it appears natural.
  • A gothic or monumental fountain as a centre piece to a colourful garden.
  • Elegant birdbath
  • DIY store ‘dribbling device’ see below
