Ornaments for The Garden

Sorry this is not a picture from my garden which is virtually ornament free. This garden centre is having a sale (I thought everything was always for sale).  After the cold winter some of your garden ornaments may need replacing or you may want to decorate a new part of the garden.

Garden Ornaments

• Ornaments work best with hard landscaping.
• Small and medium ornaments tend to get lost as vegetation grows from late spring. In winter spots look bare that in summer are thronged.
• Beware unnatural colours when selecting your ornaments unless you are A Dermot Gavin type of gardener.
• Ornaments need to be kept clean to look their best.
• Expensive ornaments should be fixed down to deter thieves.

Tip - Plan to spend at least as much money on good plants as you would on a good ornament. A plant should get better with age whilst most ornaments will do the opposite.

This stand at the garden centre was at least as colourful as any bloomin’ garden!
