Trees are a great places to locate art in your garden. RHS Hyde Hall has a series of these woodland nymphs in various strategic locations around the garden.

An explanation of each wood nymph is provided alongside the sculpture. Both enhance the experience of walking through the woodland glade and do not detract from the natural beauty of the trees.

Using Mosaic in a Garden

Posted: July 26th, 2010 | Author: hortoris | Filed under: Art, Projects | No Comments »

Mosaic garden decoration can be created by small pieces of colored glass, stone, pebbles as above or other materials. Small pieces, of different colors, known as tesserae are used to create a pattern or picture which can be incorporated into a number of garden features.

Mosaic Garden Features

  • Paths and focal points on walkways are often featured with a mosaic pattern.
  • A garden table can be topped by a mosaic. Work from the centre and draw a pattern of concentric circles. Use tile nippers to cut pieces of broken china to create a design, butter them with adhesive and stick on the table. Grout carefully after mixing with a grout colour.
  • House numbers can be created in a mosaic.
  • Mosaics make perfect outdoor pictures and sculptures. A glass mosaic will catch the light and add reflections and movement.
  • Mosaic tiles can be used to stand your pots on.
  • Put mosaic patterns on step risers, or use them in new and interesting positions..
  • How to make a mosaic birdhouse.

Get children involved with decorating plant pots and containers. Making mosaics can be fun for all ages.
