Water is an element that has the potential to unify any garden. It’s one of the greatest and most versatile features in any kind of decoration, but in gardens, it can be particularly effective. A garden fountain can add a touch of impeccable grace to any landscape design. Because the relationship between water and greenery is so very closely linked, a fountain can serve as a reminder of the relationship with water. It also has a strong association with relaxation, calmness, and even the unconscious, adding some remarkably reflective qualities. It also relates directly to the origins of the garden itself.
The earliest gardens on the planet had elements of water running through them, because they were in fact the products of the relationship between the land and water. Where the Nile River gave life to the entire civilization in its valley, the landscape was cultivated and organized to benefit from the way this river would rise and fall. This direct relationship is one that may be lost in contemporary gardening, but it’s not a broken one. Every time people see the element of water represented in the modern garden, there is the reminder that the balance of life depends on it, and the graceful feeling that water can bring is a wonderful benefit of this balance.
