With hundreds of shapes, sizes colors and styles to choose
from picking the right fountain for your garden can be confusing and difficult.
Your first consideration will probably be your budget. The good news is that
excellent quality solar garden fountains can be purchased for under a $100.00.
Most of these models are purchased as single units that can be un-boxed and
placed in your garden immediately with the addition of a little water of
course.
A second consideration for your solar garden fountains will
probably be function. Thinking about what you want to achieve with your
fountain will help you choose the right style and type of fountain.

Is your goal to draw wildlife to your garden? If the answer
is yes then consider one of the many ‘bird bath’ solar fountains available.
Birds adore the running water as do many beneficial insects like bees and
butterflies. A solar bird bath type fountain is among the most inexpensive of
all of the solar garden fountains and by far the easiest to ‘install’. These
fountains also use very little water and with the addition of using solar
energy to power your fountain they are the most inexpensive to operate.

Size is often dictated by the budget and in turn size will
often dictate where you want to place your solar garden fountain. Think of your
fountain as an accessory to your garden or patio. Just like accessories in your
home, they need to be sized to be noticed, but not to overwhelm. And like
accessories, garden fountains can be collected over time and showcased in
different parts of your garden and/or patio and deck areas. Consider breaking
up your garden into smaller vignettes and featuring a different solar fountain
in each area.
