The use of garden statues in a garden area is an art. If you
have the right number and mixture of these items, the yard can
be a beautiful place to be.
On the other hand, the use of the wrong kinds of garden
statues, or the use of too many of these statues is something
that could affect the beauty of your garden significantly. In
order to best know what you should do, follow these guidelines:
• Do not use so many statues that a passer-by cannot see
your grass – Using too many of these statues looks like
an act of desperation. Also it just looks tacky. More than 2-3
garden statues in a yard at a time is usually not a good idea.
• Use statues that accentuate parts of the garden –
If you have a pond, get a statue that is shaped like a fish. If
you have big flowers growing, get a statue shaped like a beautiful
flower. It is interesting for people to compare the real things
with the statues.
• Make a focal point – Some people may want to attract
attention elsewhere, but if it is your goal to have the statue
noticed more than anything else in the garden, set things up in
the garden so they lead a visitor’s eye to the statue. These
statues must be big enough to do the job.
Garden
statues are fun things to add life and a little personality
to a garden. But discretion should always be sued simply to make
sure that there are not too many.
