Whether the serene sound of trickling water or the charm of a ceramic character is your taste, the most desirable garden decor can be found in a variety of places. Home improvement stores, retailers, garden centers, discount stores and online shops are just a few of the many sources for your items. Bird feeders, bird baths, fountains, gnomes, statues, stepping stones, benches, and even fun or silly garden decor can create an inviting personal space.
Bird baths are great if you like to see an array of bird species throughout the day. Bird feeders can attract a variety, or a suet feeder can be chosen, to attract those cute little hummingbirds. Used in combination with succulent flowers, you will have plenty of birds and butterflies to watch for at least a few months.
If ceramics are your think, gnomes, frogs, squirrels and other creatures come in brightly painted colors or in more subdued shades, to blend with the natural surroundings. They can be used as an accent or to draw attention to areas of interest. Some varieties may also be used as planters.
Another great accessory for the garden comes from the line of Smart Solar Fountain Statues. If you enjoy the sound of falling or cascading water but don’t want to run an electrical cord outdoors, this version is an inexpensive, yet environmentally friendly option that can still provide hours of pleasure. Set up is quick and easy. The only consideration is that the solar panel should be placed in the sunniest location possible.
Stepping stones are increasingly popular, as they can help keep shoes clean and add definition to a path. Ready made versions come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Vary them for a unique and more random look. Use the same size and shape for a more uniform look. For stones that nobody else has, purchase a small bag of cement, a mold, cooking spray and your favorite leaf or piece of nature, for the embedded design.
