GARDEN + GARDENING + GARDEN DESIGN + GARDENING TIPS & ADVICE

The therapeutic benefits of growing a garden are undeniable. In this information-age dominated by cell phones, computers and other gadgets, just getting away and reverting back to an ancient connection with Earth is endlessly soothing. But limiting this tranquility to only when you are outdoors can put a severe limitation on fulfilling your need to connect with the natural.

For homeowners looking to transform their indoor living arrangements to match their passion, whether it is for gardening, healthy living, Earth, sunshine or simply good vibrations, an indoor water fountain is a go-to option. They are a simple, reliable and effective way to introduce the natural elements into any home.

A waterfall fountain brings the soothing sounds of a mountain stream or tropical paradise into a home. The movement of water even produces health benefits by increasing the levels of negative ions found in a room. Negative ions cause living things (humans, pets, plants) to react positively, enhancing our moods. Ever notice how invigorating it feels to breathe-in fresh country air? How about the feeling that comes over you when you’re standing by a waterfall or near the seashore? That’s because in the air around active water sources, like Niagara Falls for example, there are between 30,000 to 100,000 negative ions per square centimeter. Conversely, the air inside enclosed spaces (like stuffy offices, cars or homes) can contain barely even a few hundred negative ions per square centimeter.   Indoor water fountains are an extremely stylish way to improve negative ion density in such indoor places.

Indoor fountains are easily customizable. They come in several shapes, sizes, colors and patterns. This flexibility insures they will become a beautiful, complementing addition to any design scheme. The presence of a fountain instantly catapults any space into a calming sanctuary reminiscent of an outdoor getaway. There is a reason so many spas, hotels and other businesses add water features to their lobbies and offices. The attractive and functional effect of the  wall fountains ensures steady, satisfied business.

Waterfall fountains are an easy home improvement to accomplish. Most fountains can be installed in less than one hour. They require no plumbing attachment or home structure modifications.   Indoor wall fountains take minimal attention, which means gardening enthusiasts can spend more time doing what they love, while spreading their green thumb to the interior of their home.
