A Smaller Garden Space? Don't Feel Left Out! You Can Still Have a Water Feature

A Smaller Garden Space? Don't Feel Left Out! You Can Still Have a Water Feature You can make your space look bigger due to the reflective effect of water. Water features such as fountains benefit from the reflective characteristics stemming from dark materials. Night time is a great time to draw attention to the illuminated, colored underwater lights in your new water feature. Solar powered eco-lights are great during the day and submerged lights are perfect for nighttime use. Relieving stress and anxiety with their calming sounds are some of the uses in nature medicine.

The vegetation in your yard is a very good spot to fit in your water feature. People will be focused on the pond, artificial river or fountain in your garden. Small verandas or major gardens is the perfect place to put in a water feature. Considerably transforming the ambience is possible by locating it in the most appropriate place and include the finest accompaniments.

The History of Outdoor Fountains

The History of Outdoor Fountains Pope Nicholas V, himself a well educated man, governed the Roman Catholic Church from 1397 to 1455 during which time he commissioned many translations of ancient classic Greek texts into Latin. Beautifying Rome and making it the worthy capital of the Christian world was at the heart of his ambitions. At the bidding of the Pope, the Aqua Vergine, a ruined aqueduct which had carried clean drinking water into Rome from eight miles away, was renovated starting in 1453. The ancient Roman tradition of building an awe-inspiring commemorative fountain at the location where an aqueduct arrived, also known as a mostra, was resurrected by Nicholas V. At the behest of the Pope, architect Leon Battista Alberti began the construction of a wall fountain in the spot where we now find the Trevi Fountain. The aqueduct he had refurbished included modifications and extensions which eventually enabled it to supply water to the Trevi Fountain as well as the famed baroque fountains in the Piazza del Popolo and the Piazza Navona.
