Garden Fountain with Bamboo and Water Plants

An on-going project for over 4 years. This is the third iteration. My wife and I have worked very hard to custom build this garden fountain. There are no kit pieces here. Even the bamboo spout was crafted from hand selected canes.

 

Blood, sweat, tears, elbow grease, trial and error, and plenty of beer. If you are building a fountain and have any questions, please let me know. I would be happy to tell you what worked for me and what did not.

 

Now, we can finally sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds of this beautiful water feature.

 

We purchased the bamboo at Bamboo Oasis in Beaverton:

*If you are looking for anything bamboo related in Portland, this is the place! So much knowledge and good advice. Can't wait to go back and buy more plants.

 

We purchased the pot at Al's Garden Center in Sherwood:

The water plants came from Hughes Water Gardens in Tualatin:

The pump, lower pond liner, and misc. pipes and fittings all came from local hardware stores.
