It's safe to say that I'm a little obsessed with water features in gardens. Whether it's a koi pond or a granite fountain, I'm all for it. So, when I found this Martha Stewart post on making a backyard fountain out of economical materials, I knew that it would be a hit with Casa readers. You can even make it more eco chic by using gray water for the water in your fountain.



What You'll Need

Three terra-cotta pots that can stack top to bottom, as seen in the photo and diagram, for the inside body of your fountain

Two supporting pots

Foam sealant (even better, use a green foam sealant)

One-inch diameter plastic tubing, a little shorter than the height of your pots (you can trim it after you've built the fountain)

Water pump

A power cord that will connect to the pump

Flow-control valve

Terra-cotta feet for the bottom pot
