This £10 solar fountain helped me create a quick and easy DIY garden water feature – I love it even if my kids mock it

Collection of planters on a grey paved patio with one of them filled with water and topped with a solar water fountain.

When I saw ideas for an easy DIY garden water feature popping up all over my social media feeds, I immediately wanted to give one a go. My husband has been going on about creating some kind of water feature in our garden for ages because he finds the sound of running water relaxing. However, his plans were much grander than a quick hack and involved complicated landscaping and expensive water pumps.

To get something done quicker (and for a lot less money), I thought I'd give this super straightforward DIY mini pond a go, even if we end up replacing it with something bigger in the long term.
