Show off your Garden Decor

Women are usually accomplices.

We lead them like innocent sheep to the slaughter?

LOL!

Ok, I don't have much in my tiny yard but clearly, I need to catch up here! I'm afraid I am lacking in the imagination department I think.

Love those color echoes!

I like that combo.
Nice goin Sue

hey, I know, I can post other people's art pieces!!
Zuzu's!

Thanks, I love blue with any color.

Some things are more subtle in my garden, tiny details.

More of Zuzu's garden decor, some of it movable art.

OK, not mine but a few things I have seen on garden tours. This was in a garden tour in Cincinnati.

Closeup of the pink chair in the picture above. Great idea for recycling and old chair, painted to whatever color you want.

A odd but humorous decor

Same garden, clearly the owner has a sense of humor.

Same garden

I loved this one.

I love the litle girl skipping rope!

Around here (though not at my house), garden decor is usually old toilets, bathtubs or bedframes. The bedframe was cute the FIRST time I saw it.

This was in a garden tour 3 years ago in No. Calif., in a garden by a former DG member here. I did a whole thread on her garden.

This is the kind of critter I would like to have in my garden. Ran into him (or her) on a garden tour.

LOL Polly, yeah, I know, that can be overdone!

Same garden as above. She's a ceramic artist as well as a garden designer, in fact, in the newest Fine Gardening (Oct), 2 of her ceramic heads are featured.

That's the only kind of snake I would feel good about in my garden, although it would still probably give me a start each time I see it!

Here is her mosaic walkway.

Walkway is awesome; a very clever hardscape applicaiton. I would have tree roots coming up between every third tile if thatpath were in my garden.

Walk way is awsome.
Here is my bear.
oops wrong one

.See her

Did your belamcandas overwinter Jo Ann. I have trouble with mine here. We're so close, but you have so much more mild winters, you stinker, LOL.

he he the panamcandas in the collage are new. Sangrila mix from Hallsons I'm not thrilled with them. Flowers are half the size I hoped for.
Belamcandas did do well over winter. I like them nice orange in the dark leaved plants.

Not mine, but I still like this a lot. It stops traffic.

I think they're pretty. I've never tried the pardancandas, since the belamcanda won't winter over, and the belamcanda is one parent of the pardancanda.

Joe Pye Weeds garden has some lovelies that are calling my name. They all are listed as hardy to Z5, and we're Z6, but for some reason they just don't make it through the winter.

Maybe they don't like the snow, and want to head to Rochester where they will only get about 100 inches of snow, in comparison to over 200.

How Cute, JD!

It's Harvey! Love that rabbit!

Sue, I'm so glad you posted that birdhouse shelf again... it jogs my memory about wanting to do a version of that last spring. Now I know what I'm going to put together to hold some of the miniature roses I've potted up from the Nor'east clearance sale.

We've got a healthy supply of garters here, and our neighbor has a very large king snake under her shed (which is a good thing since the mocassins at Jones Creek are nearby). That king snake is slipping up though (or maybe he's full...) because a copperhead snuck through and was in my garden a while back. I've never seen one in my yard (now or in previous yards) before, so I was very surprised. Much like an unhealthy plant, he was shovel-pruned!

Polly your winters are brutal. I believe its colder where you are.
No one will dispute the snow you get either.
If my Sangrilla doesnt make it thru the winter I wont be sad.It looks better in the picture than for real.

This was painted by a friend. It is to go to the garden as soon as I figure out where.
It was for the garden shed but I think it may look good IN the garden.

I am enjoying all the great pictures, every one has been busy today.

My goofy duck.

What a beautiful piece of art, gardengus!

Sue, love your photos, as always. Love the sense of humor on the part of that one gardener as well as the little girl. Excellent placement.

JD - how come you show us the bunny but not your panther?

The panther is camera shy...besides, he's missing an eye at the moment.

Rabid bunny attack?

The cats have a taste for panther eyes.

this is turning dark.

Someone sent me this as a joke...

but he lost his head. I tried Elmer's Glue and tape...

and it worked for a while...

... but a winter storm resulted in the body in the street but with the head safe and sound.

Now he rests in peace.
