    I'm more of a plant grower at heart so garden ornaments don't really play a great part in my garden but I know that a lot of people like them in the garden as focal points and for just plain fun. So I thought it might be interesting see what garden ornaments we've all got. So here's mine.:snork:

    "Bird in the Hand" ....the birds use it and I like it.

    "Girl and Boy under an Umbrella"

    The Lawn Bird Bath

    I know this bench is functional but it has it's ornamental and focal point use.:snork:

    The old Bird Bath in the main "Walk around border"

    Well, that's all I've got.:snork: But what have other people got....Gnomes and all!!:heehee:

              I don't particularly like garden ornaments, but I've got a good spot for an owl which I've wanted for a long time. I'm still trying to find one I like.......ermmm Armandii!

              I don't think Woo would we be happy about taking up residence in my garden either. :heehee:

                      I have been saving up pine cones to make my next sculpture that involves the use of an old toilet. I want to get the top half of an old mannequin, cover it pine cones and position it coming out from the toilet pan. I even already have a name for it. Bog Monster.

                        Aside from the many sculptures, I'm rather fond of these pots.
                        Ignore the two bricks, they shouldn't be there.:wallbanging:

                              I don't have any gnomes or owls come to that. :snork:
                              What I do have are these:

                              I also have some terracotta and stone pots,some old mill stones, a water trough and a chiminea. But as this is an old farm house it seems fitting.
