A Unique Gift Idea…Garden Ornaments and Focal Points
(Via gardenauthor)
Gentle, graceful angels and other small statuary... at home on a mantle, bookshelf or in a small garden space.
A bronze sundial with rich, golden patina... to wile away the hours in their own special garden.
A decorative concrete bench - the perfect place to rest on a hot, sunny day.
And who can resist frolicking puppies... this particular litter are extremely well-behaved and not very likely to trample the flower bed!
Cherubs? Angels? Whichever they are, they'll create a happy, peaceful setting, reigning over that secluded nook with angelic grace.
Exotic ornamentation with an Asian influence... perfect for the serenity of an oriental garden.
The traditional pagoda - imagine it nestled beside a windswept Japanese maple, or presiding over a koi pond.
Garden pergolas, arbors and trellises create an inviting garden entrance, an essential focal point and imposing vertical lines... has someone been wishing for such a grand element?
Crafted of metal, this elegant urn is at home adding a Victorian touch to the plant room, a formal touch to an outdoor garden room... or, maybe as a pair, planted with topiaries, framing the front door.
And have I mentioned the value of all this garden ornamentation year 'round? Always check first, but the majority of these can be left in the garden, to brighten those dull winter days. Benches, arbors and other substantial items continue to provide focal points, right through the winter. Can't you just envision some of these features dusted with powdery snow or supporting an array of icicles? I'll bet your favorite gardener can!
During these last days before Christmas, I'll share a few more gift ideas... maybe they'll inspire you to dream up that "perfect gift" for your favorite gardener. Again, A special thanks to the staff of Corliss Bros. Garden Center & Nursery for the great photos ©2007.
