Garden decor gives a theme.With the myriad of options for statues,
water features, curios and structures, your garden can be transformed every year if you wish.
Planning your garden's current theme doesn't have to stop when the
weather gets cold: it can be a creative hobby for many, and some of the
best times can be spent planning exactly where things will go. Will you
build a Zen garden this year? Install a sundial? Whatever you decide to
do, you don't have to be rich to create the garden of your dreams. It
is easy to even transform a balcony. It's time to get started on
creating your garden paradise; you're only limited by your imagination
and tastes. Start having fun choosing your favorite yard accents.
Birdwatching and landscaping can complement each other beautifully.
Birdbaths are a great example. They will not only provide the birds
with refreshing water but also enhance your lawn and garden décor,
especially if you select one with an attractive design.
Fountains are lawn and garden decor classics. The outdoor water
fountains will bring you an element no landscape design should be
without, the wonderful sound of running water
Wishing wells fit nicely into the cottage landscape style. Picture a
yard marked off by a white picket fence and boasting a profusion of
colorful perennial
flowers. Wouldn't a rustic wishing well look nice,
situated in the middle of such enchanting surroundings? But wishing
wells complement other styles, as well. They're helpful in establishing
focal points. Many homeowners use them as planters and, when bedecked
by vines, they seem as firmly rooted in the landscape as revered old
trees.
Trends in
statuary come and go. Pink flamingoes used to be the rage;
they're still used, but now make a counter-statement. The hot item now
is the gnome. Perhaps their popularity is due to their evocation of the
beloved fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. Displaying a gnome is a
quick way to inject Old-World charm and playful fantasy into your yard.
