GARDEN ORNAMENTS

Your garden is probably about 200x bigger than mine.. incredible.

 

200x more work too I expect !

 

Yeahhh! Looks like you've worked very hard on it!

 

I've decided to move my lady statue from inside to outside.
I think she looks at home here.

 

Lovely, but she just needs to "weather " a bit. You know, the rhino skin look...

 

I had a quick play this morning and made this crude little mouse as a prototype for a larger ornament that I fancy making. Thisl ittle fella can now stay perched on the end of one the garden benches.

 

Cute!

 

After making the mini version, I now have in mind to make a much bigger version, but altering the front legs to hold a flower pot of some sort. It'll be different and bit of fun to do.

The above idea also gave me another idea of making a similar size small version, but this time holding a tea light.

 

I'm reaching the stage where I now need to think about adding a few features to my garden.

I'm a little stuck on what to put in so am wondering if anyone would like to share pictures of what they have in their gardens to inspire me please.

 

Hello JJ , not sure what kind of feature you are looking for, but below is a photo of a pebble pool . I built this about 5 years ago it has a 1500 litre pump 240V and low voltage lights at dusk . I planted with grasses , dwarf bamboo and some oxalis kindly donated by Jenny Namaste. Although it is currently being trashed by Molly our new puppy who thinks its a great romp area

 

So: what's the possible list then?

Pond / fountain / koi-carp
and Stream / Rill / waterfall
Topiary - standalone shapes and/or shaped boundary hedge
Pergola
Arbour
Seats
Statues
Bird feeder
Gateways - through dividers between garden rooms
Focal point
Borrowed-view
Lighting
Path edging / fancy paths

pinterest.com should give you some inspiration - tell me you do have an account, and have already been pinning things-of-interest like mad?

 

You could always have a "Humphrey" (giraffe)

Val

 

Is that a "statue" or a "borrowed view"?

 

That is delightful, Harry! Molly has good taste in "toys"
