Garden Decorating with Statues

• Garden statuary can be decorative or functional. While a fountain, bird bath and stone bench are considered functional, a scale model gazebo or children playing are decorative. Statuary should be strategically placed, keeping in mind that you don't want the plants around it to "swallow" it as they mature.
  
  

Garden Decoration Ideas with Wrought Iron

• Wrought iron garden decorations are very popular. They weather well, they're airy and can be functional. A small stretch of iron fencing can be used as a trellis for a quick-growing vine, to shade a summer patio, an air-conditioning unit or as a privacy screen.
  
  

Making Garden Art from Recycled Materials

• You can plant flowers in an old pair of boots, or use rustic old architectural elements, like window frames or banisters to make recycled garden art. Garden stakes are a popular recycled art project--affix just about anything to a wooden or metal stake to use in the garden. Glass plates and teacups can be fused together to look like whimsical flowers "planted" in the garden.
