Garden Decorations

austinl01 · 02-09-2008, 09:16 PM

We all must love the tropical look since we're growing bananas. What I'd like to see are your garden decorations such as tiki huts, wooden parrots or even pink flamingos. I really want to spice up my outdoor decor. Thanks!

i really love that tree nate. as for garden decor, i have little gnomes in one flowerbed. they are 2 inches high, and a toad house. i have a gazing ball holder that looks victorian and the pots to match it. a sheppards hook with japanese lanterns, dont know what im gonna do with that once i get my nanas planted outside. there is a 5 foot. gargoyle (made out of concrete) that i have been wanting forever. i would love to sit him in a corner with my nana trees. and i want some pink flamingos! so if anyone knows where i can get some lmk. if not ill have to wait till springbreak when i go to fl.

Birdbaths are a winner.

i dont have a birdbath...love to have one.the only problem is the outside cats would think its a moveable buffet. i wish they had one that would kind of hang from a tree limb like a hummer feeder.

Make your own hanging bird bath. do a google for home made.

mskitty38583 · 02-10-2008, 12:02 PM

great idea! thanks

Here's how some of the decorations look on a bright February morning in San Diego (75 deg-F at 10am):

A whirly-gig to remind us of past furry friends

The gnomes who live under the pineapple guavas

A geeky-bird that crows squak at but otherwise stay far away (100+ feet) from

Flamingos nesting in the Babacos (pineapple papayas)

Fairy house in the leptospermums

Good idea about bird baths. I want to make one of those bubbling pot fountains. I think that would be really cool.

Richard--great shots of your yard ornaments. That geeky bird is really funny looking. LOL. Of course, a garden cannot be complete without gnomes!

Here are a couple of my attempts at trying to add some non plants to my place:

Austin... You mentioned a "bubbling fountain"... If you look at the pic below on the front porch, that is a fountain urn that I purchased from HD and built the base to give it the Asian feel that I have out front.

To the left of the porch is a "Japanese" latern with landscape up lights shining on the latern and one on the 25+ year old Japanese Maple at night....

MsKitty,
I aint't too pretty right now!!! With the dormant plants and me tearing up part of the back to extend beds, it's a REAL mess out there... Hope it comes back into shape by mid May.... Thanks for the compliment anyway...
