The Fountain Court
Fountains and water features, where water finds its voice.
Almanac. Roman houses piped water into courtyard fountains for its sound as much as for drinking.

Welcome to Fine Garden Products. I've been choosing beautiful pieces for gardens since 1998, and Vandermeer Gardens is our shop, laid out like an old estate you can stroll. Each garden room is a department: fountains, statuary and armillaries, topiary, glazed ceramics and planters, and outdoor living along the allée. Step into the Manor House for home décor. Wander room by room, and every piece ships free to your door.
