Outdoor Wednesday – Garden Ornaments

I had been eyeing a garden statue at my favorite consignment store for quite some time. Yesterday, I stopped by and saw a sign for 20 percent off garden statuary. The owner looked up the reduced price, which was around $39.00, but she discounted it further for me to $29.00!
The figure of an angel looks down on the posy held in one hand.
It has found a home in my new garden bed with its white flowers.

Another decorative garden object I had been wanting was now down to $14.99. It is an urn in an oval shape with up-curved ends.
It seems to be of terra cotta covered with cement. I like the interesting shape and was glad to take it home with me.
Here it holds a pot of Taifun White Bacopa flowers.

Urns and statuary add so much to the charm of the garden. So I am glad to add to the urns and planters I already have in place
Do you decorate your outdoor spaces with things other than flowers and other plants?

Outdoor Wednesday – Tower Hill Botanic Garden


With the coming of spring to our area I am thinking of going to enjoy the beauties of the wonderful Tower Hill Botanic Garden, in West Boylston, MA. Here a some of the photos I took there in September 2008

I enjoy seeing statuary amid the plantings. Here are some delightful cherubs






I am looking forward to setting out my pots of succulents on my deck. Here are some that the Botanic Garden has on display.


Aren't we fortunate to have these institutional gardens to enjoy an outing and to find inspiration for our own home gardens?
