ALAN Titchmarsh regularly used water features in his beloved TV show Ground Force to inject “life” into boring gardens.
But the additions can prove rather costly, with people often trying to make one themselves on a budget.

However, they might want to head to their local branch of The Range instead of faffing around with a DIY project.
As one chuffed shopper has revealed how she managed to nab a “captivating” £23.99 water feature for just £2.
Christine took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share her epic find.
Posting a snap of the gorgeous glass hummingbird feature, she wrote: “I got this for £2 from The Range because the box was a little ripped.
“There was a few of them on the shelf with the boxes the same so I grabbed one.
“I love it!”
Her picture showed the water feature all set up and running, with the H20 running from a lily pad at the top to one at the bottom, as a hummingbird flew down to try and have a drink.
People were quick to comment on the Facebook post, with one writing: “This looks lovely!”
“Wow, what a bargain,” another gushed.
As a third called it “beautiful”, someone else said it was “so pretty”, and another called it “so cute in an odd kinda way”.
“Bargain, so pretty” someone else wrote.
“What a bargain, well done!” another said.
While someone else commented: “Saw this today, but it wasn’t £2!”
And Christine’s find was made all the more impressive by the fact that the exact same water feature is currently being sold in Homebase for a whopping £23.99.
“This stunning Glass Hummingbird Water Feature will transform a sunny garden spot into a tranquil haven,” Homebase says of the design on their website.
“The exquisite stained-glass design depicts a charming pond, complete with pink flowers from which gentle streams cascade.
“A hummingbird, crafted with iridescent detail, seems eternally suspended in mid-air above the blooms.”
The store concluded by saying the feature makes “a captivating focal point for any garden”, and is “guaranteed to delight family and friends”.
