wire cables, they are easily
displayed at different heights,
either as a single eye-catching
piece or in groups of two
or more. Hand-crafted in
Thailand, these planters make
a perfect home for epiphytes,
ferns, succulents, bromeliads,
herbs and more. Durable yet

Jars. Ong™ Jars by Big Grass

firm, level ground. Each vessel holds approximately 225 gallons of
rainwater, measures approximately 47-inches w x 37-inches high, and

from weathered teak
planks. Tapered in width,
they can be configured
in an infinite variety of
straight lines, curves or
even circles for added
garden design impact. A
beautiful, cost-effective
alternative to typical
poured concrete walks,
they can be easily reconfigured, saving expensive
materials and labor.
Install over level, coarse
sand base. For foot traffic
only. Each plank measures 31½-inches long x
6-inches wide (narrow

Introducing the
Bird Girl Fountain
Finally, Potina has mastered the
engineering challenge of manufacturing the vastly popular Bird
Girl statue into a fountain. She
made her debut at the Atlanta
AmericasMart gift show in January and was a big success!
Potina has designed the fountain in such a way where only
one pump is needed to make the
water equally flow
through both
arms and gurgle from the dishes.
Simple instructions with pump and
The specifics of
the new fountain:
tubing requirements are included with

working on an in-ground kit that will
be offered individually. This kit, available
soon, will allow everyone to have the Bird Girl
fountain in their own garden
without the expense of building a pond.
Also from Potina:
The Harbor Seal Fountain
Like the Bird Girl, the Harbor Seal Fountain is part of The Sylvia
Shaw Judson Collection. It was originally cast in bronze by Mrs.
Judson in 1945 for a family in Lake Forest, Ill., and a children’s
hospital in Boston, Mass. Offered in its original size, it is available
as a fountain or a statue in two finishes, bronze or sandstone.
