ADDING GARDEN ACCENTS




Adding garden decor and yard accents to your landscape design can transform a ho-hum garden spot into a beautiful work of art. This also allows you to use more of your creative, unique personality. By adding a birdbath, sundial, solar lights, figurines/statutes or other outdoor decor,
your garden can take on a new life.

Water features, such as birdbaths, water fountains or ponds, not only adds a focal point, they also provide water for birds and sometimes other critters. Running water especially is a good way to attract birds. Plus, they are quite entertaining when they're splashing around.

Well placed outdoor sundials will always have others looking and trying to figure out if they really do keep time.

Some of people's favorites are garden figurines and statues. Pictured are a few different ways to use within your garden spot.








Make your own glazing ball from an old bowling ball by just painting it and putting it on a stand or just within your flower bed. Or use rocks to add just that right touch that pulls your garden spot together.

For more ideas on garden decor take a gander at what other gardeners are using in their gardens and yard. You can literally create you very own outdoor oasis by accessorizing.

What's your favorite way of using garden decor?
