Here ’s a beautiful , geometrical bottom designed byDeborah Silvernear Detroit , Michigan . Deborah contructed the fountain out of galvanized , acid - wash sword . The formal garden that surrounds it mirrors its style and shape perfectly . There are no curve in the social organization of this garden , but its rigidity is softened by the sperical figure of both the flora and the movable garden art . The plants surrouding the fountain include gilded Scotch moss ( Sagina subulata‘Aurea ’ , USDA Hardiness zone 4 - 7 ) , a tracking variegate plectranthus ( Plectranthuscv . , zone 10 - 11 ) , white - flowering New Guinea impatiens ( Impatienscv . , annual ) , and ‘ Green Gem ’ boxwood ( Buxus‘Green Gem ’ , 6 - 9 ) .
