Years have passed, however your instructional DIY planter/plants & water feature video continues to stand against time and continues to be the best video of this type.
I just made this and love how it turned out! I just used a chap $10 planter from the Dollar Store and a cheap wastepaper basket. Ordered a pump off Amazon and ran to the Local Garden Center to get my plants. Love it!
I don't get how the water doesn't get dirt in it and ruin the pump, even w the cheese cloth she used, all the dirt on the sides will get in the pump eventually.
Yes, this really is a very nice simple design. The dollar store has more and more nice pots too now and very inexpensive. Totally worth it not having to pay the outrageous prices stores want for their pots.
So good to see you from 8 years ago. I am planning a budget DIY water feature with a rock fountain and this video helps me have an idea on how to stop procrastinating and get started.
June 6, 2021!! Just found this lovely young lady about 2 months ago and am totally enjoying her ! Have to be really careful or I will lose most of a morning with nothing accomplished in my garden. 😳😉🌸
Laura, you're so ingenious and talented. I love, love, love this fountain. I'm going tomorrow and try making myself one. I already have a pump left from an accident my son made, when he dropped my bowl, (which was quite large_ and broke it. I just checked it and it still works after sitting on the shelf for the past 3 years. Thank you for sharing your videos and keep them coming. I've learned so much from you. Hope you have a great day. Linda from Texas
Laura you and Aaron have really transformed your sister-in-laws yard. Great work the hose link is a great addition. I would so like to be added to your hose link giveaway. Thanks enjoy your day.
I looked at several container water garden videos and your's is by far the best. No horrible drilling and extra tools needed, my kind of project. It looks lovely, thanks!
Omg Laura has it really been 8 yrs ago that you made this? I pretty sure this was like one of the first videos I watched of yours and you got me hooked. Lol I've loved every min of it. Here's to another 8 yrs 🎉🎉🎉
WONDERFUL project and tips for any outdoor fountain. We have a fountain already but will use your tip for enclosing the pump in the cheese cloth/plastic plant pot to keep debris from clogging the pump. I will probably use Black Landscape Fabric instead of cheesecloth because our fountain is in a Whiskey Barrel and it will not show up like the white cheesecloth. Thanks again!
You're SO SWEET! I love your videos! Like you, I have been a commercial nursery-greenhouse Manager. I started when I was 17 yrs old in the greens' industry. Finished up at 40yrs. It's about all my back, neck, shoulders, hips could do! I Broke! lol. I have a 2-yr. A.S. in horticulture, with a concentration in Landscape Design (freehand and CAD) estimator. I'm NOW, finally! working on my OWN house, like you! Landscaping is undertaken simultaneously with restoration of a 100 yr old New England farmhouse...jacking basement timbers, jackhammering walls, more rock, more perf pipe, more drainage... UGH!! I thought I was DONE!! lol Your videos are wonderful and thought-provoking! The planters, especially the double, and trellis will be undertaken this month. Not ONLY will they beautify the outside of my home, but they will be serving an essential function for runoff from the roof that is causing Foundation failure period five planting them and top dressing with 2 inches of crushed gravel comma the Rainwater will percolate through the planter and dissipate into the ground instead of running into my basement!! THANK YOU, GOD BLESS!! :)
Wow, you’ve come a long way over the years!!! Wanted to build a fountain pot and came across this oldie but goodie. Thanks for the years of learning and inspiration!! ❤
Love peaceful days like that. Rewarding work and time with family. Your new area is really taking shape and is going to be beautiful. Have a blessed week
I bought everything I thought I needed to make a Tabletop Water Fountain Feature then went looking for a helpful tutorial video and found YOU you we're so precise and detailed and easy to follow and your voice soothing and confident building so I Subscribed Thank U for your Helpful suggestions Without Them I Would have put it together without checking the pump first & I did have to go back & buy cheesecloth... it's hard to find someone comfortable in front of the camera who knows what they're talkin about You're It !!!
I wish I had found this channel sooner before I spent so much money on waterfalls that spill over too much and ruin my hardwood floors. My husband was going to throw out a wooden toy chest and I was thinking I could make a beautiful planter out of it and now I have great idea for a waterfall garden. Thanks Laura you are so creative and talented love all your work.
Hi Laura! Today I was showing your vídeos to my mom (20/may/2021)...and telling her that I loved your projects with suculents (we love plants, suculents special)...so I search for these old projects 🥰 Love to saw them again! My mom loved the suculents Garland project, for the door 💚 Congrats for you and your family 😻🌿🌻🌳🍁♥️ Maria and mom Gina Big hug from Lisbon, Portugal
OMG, Laura you are a Gem. I'm so happy I found your chanel. Im so grateful for the information, energy and inspiration I receive from you . God Bless you and multiply your blessing .
It is beautiful, Laura. Reminds me of a project from years ago that I did for speech class in community college. I was terrified of public speaking so I saved that class for last. The assignment was a demonstration- themed speech. I found a little table fountain and decided to use it for my speech. It worked but I had to persuade the teacher to let me use a little water but I didn’t have enough water, so when I turned it on, nothing happened. Did not know that was the reason, but the speech passed, then when I got home and tried to figure out what happened it was apparent right away so my little fountain gave me many good years of hearing it’s soothing sound as I studied. This was before it became more common to use beautiful fountains like yours in gardens (which are called yards in this part of the country).
I've made fountains/water features and many planted flower/plant pots and have to say you explained it so well👍 Only thing I'd add is to check water levels weekly at first for leaks then monthly as needed to keep it running smoothly😊
Absolute genious. Never seen anything like this before! The only thing I'd suggest is to include something to regulate the flow in case the pump is too strong.
LOVE THIS ONE!!! Watched your succulent fountain video and loved it but I'm not much of a succulent fan unfortunately. This video gave me a good window to start on what types of plants to use for my own fountain planter. You are so talented, thank you for sharing!
Hi Laura! I found you in Facebook a few months ago and I have never missed any of your videos since. I actually look forward to see what you are going to show each day. You give me so much inspiration and I truly enjoy watching you work your magic. I decided to start watching you on TH-cam so I could see your earlier videos and I found myself bingeing watching them! I was very excited to learn that you have done multiple DIY videos. Hoping to see more in the future! I’m not sure if you’re going to see my comment because of how popular you have become, but I just wanted to tell you to keep doing what your doing girl! I’m constantly talking about your new videos to my friends and how to incorporate what you do in my own garden. I’m still very new to everything, but you make it all seem so easy and are very informative. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. -Garden Answers #1 fan ❤️
Can you overwater your plants with the continuous flowing water? How can you stop this? This is so lovely! Everyone loves a waterfall. This one is a winner!
This is so inspiring and beautiful. I am on my way to Lowes to get the necessary stuff for this. You instructions are so clear. Thanks for making this world a more beautiful place.
I've watched all your recent videos but this old one just came across. You looked younger and so cute, speaked very formal in this video in comparison to others I've watched. You're so talented! Love all your videos and thank you for making them!!!
Catching up on some of your older videos. I love this. I think I might give this a go when we hit spring ..... we are not far off hitting winter. This is a cool idea.
Love this project! Had trouble with water wicking through the cheesecloth into the soil...I just removed it and restacked the rocks. Came out beautifully! Thank you for the vid!!!
I love, love, love this. You are so ingenious and creative. Put this down for my next project. I've learned so much from you. Thank you so much for sharing you videos of knowledge. Keep them coming so I can learn more from you. God Bless. Linda, Texas
Hello mam, I am Akshay & and I am from India, I am glad to say that I do watch you mini garden project vedios every time and it is so helpful to me to get excellent ideas & information about the mini garden , so I just thank you for such vedios...& Well .....give us more enhancing and beautiful ideas for the gardening......thank you so much 😊✌️💐🌱🌿 happy gardening......!✌️☺️
Love this idea! Have been watching all your videos. Enjoy every one of them and have lots of ideas to use out in my garden this year...IF it ever stops raining here in SW Washington.
I made this, but I used screen mesh over the water bucket. I used a metal wire to tie it off so I could easily remove it if I needed to check the pump. I positioned the rocks to hide the wire mesh. I also placed a smaller bucket inside of the large bucket. I placed the pump in that and filled it with water. Then I was able to remove the mesh, take the small pot out with the pump and clean it whenever it needed it.
I just love the video. I want to ask you that can you please tell me something about vertical garden. Please show some tutorials about vertical gardening.
You make it look so easy!!! I love plants, gardening and my back yard, but I’ve always been intimidated to try water features. Is there anything special I need to know when buying the pump? Yours turned out so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful ideas.
Laura, thank you for such inspiration! There is going to be a water fall in fairy town this summer!!! I have already tried out the pump and got the rocks. I've learned so much from you. Wish I lived near you I'd come in and tell you in person.
I see a Monrovia plant container. I grew up in Azusa, CA. In the 70s, Monrovia nursery had large lots, no fences, full of plants in containers in Azusa. People used to steal em..
This was 2 kids ago! I wonder how she feels watching her old videos, must feel like a lifetime ago!
Years have passed, however your instructional DIY planter/plants & water feature video continues to stand against time and continues to be the best video of this type.
I know! I had to fix my pump this year, I have left it outside in MN for 3 years now. I searched for her video to make sure I put it back correctly!
I just made this and love how it turned out! I just used a chap $10 planter from the Dollar Store and a cheap wastepaper basket. Ordered a pump off Amazon and ran to the Local Garden Center to get my plants. Love it!
Did you made it for indoor or for outdoor?
I don't get how the water doesn't get dirt in it and ruin the pump, even w the cheese cloth she used, all the dirt on the sides will get in the pump eventually.
Yes, this really is a very nice simple design. The dollar store has more and more nice pots too now and very inexpensive. Totally worth it not having to pay the outrageous prices stores want for their pots.

What a great idea! Fantastic for people who have too tight a budget to buy one of those expensive fountains from the plant nursery.
You are so good . Any one can blindly follow your steps in gardening. Thank you. God bless you

Absolutely LOVE this blooming waterfall!! I’m hoping to make one Monday. Sooo clever. It’s like a full service filling station-nectar and a drink.

So very pretty and the beautiful cobalt blue morning glories behind you? What a lovely yard. Thank you for this. 🙂
Beautiful. I think I'm going to make an edible, water fall, planter.
Did you make this and did the wire strainer work?
I acquired a gorgeous pot last summer at a steal. You just solved my issue of making a really nice water feature! Thank you!
Laura I absolutely love everything you do, you and your husband are amazing,
congratulations on your new home and baby!!

What size fountain did you use in yours?
Gorgeous ~♡~ I love how you used the 3 purple complimenting flower colors. The odd numbers used in decorating is very pleasing to the eye ~♡~
Love your flower pot water feature. I would love to make one for myself.
Hello Carolyn, how are you doing today ?
Love this. Very beautiful and easy. Good instructions
Hello Mary, how are you doing ?
Wonderful indoor fountain project. We all have that corner that needs a je ne sais quoi🤔. It's just a matter of selecting the right indoor plants!
Amazing to hear the voice changes over the last 14 years!
Jamming plants for 10 yrs this June! 😂
Absolute genious. Never seen anything like this before! The only thing I'd suggest is to include something to regulate the flow in case the pump is too strong.

I love water fountains! Love bird baths that have water movement as well! Have several in my yard that I made! Super easy to do!😊
