Clay pot fountains bring the sound of a creek into your yard or patio. The natural sound of water flowing helps to mask less desirable sounds from the street or neighboring homes. With a clay pot fountain, your yard becomes a soothing island. Select a sealed or glazed clay pot. The kinds without drainage holes, intended as decorative covers for flower pots, work well for this project. Obtain a few basic, inexpensive supplies and assemble a clay pot fountain for any part of your outdoor environment.
