The fountains and figures are made of cast stone
(a formula of Dick Popell) and finished in an indoor, outdoor finish (PATINA).
This finish looks exactly like old bronze and will weather nicely for years and
years.
Actual leaves from the giant sea grape tree were
used to make the molds. As far as we know, there are only two of these fully
grown trees in this country. They were brought into America from Brazil by the
man who furnished many of the tropical plants and trees for the famous Fairchild
Tropical Gardens in Miami, Florida and one for his nursery near Fairchild.
