Seasonal Care Tips for Your Garden Fountain
Garden fountains are a delightful feature that add a soothing ambiance to any outdoor space. However, maintaining their beauty and functionality requires some seasonal attention. In this article, we'll share essential care tips for your garden fountain to ensure it stays in perfect condition year-round.
Spring: Refresh and Revitalize
Spring is the perfect time to give your garden fountain a thorough cleaning to remove any debris that accumulated over the winter months. Use a mild detergent and a soft brush to clean the fountain surfaces. Ensure the pump is working correctly by removing any blockages or dirt. Now is also a good time to check the finish and touch up any areas that might need a little extra care.
