I love seeing garden art, whether as sculpture, like this garden statue, or a decoration hanging from a tree. I’ve even seen found objects attached to the fences surrounding a garden.
I took this photo as I was walking through my neighborhood a week ago, looking for something interesting to feed my camera. Although I’d walked past this house many times before, this is the first time I noticed this appealing little statue. The little girl is watering her potted plant, or perhaps a seed she just planted there, as her goose watches. (I think it’s a goose. It looks more like a goose than a duck to me. The bill and feet have little detail. ) The water looks a bit muddy, almost like dirt. The white statue stands out on the dark soil better than a terracotta statue would.
The ever-present fallen sycamore leaves are on the ground. It seems they are with us from autumn until spring. I cropped the green shrubs at the back of the photo out to give more attention to the sculpture.
Have you seen any interesting garden art lately? Do you have any art in your own garden? What kind of art do you think looks nice in a garden?
This photo is part of the Just for Fun Week 3 Challenge. See the details here if you’d like to join the fun.
Nice post!Beautiful!
I have little knick knacks in the garden. I try to work some kind of idea into the garden and it comes as I begin weeding and buying plants to grow.
The garden has everything, food plants, herbs, flowers and swan plants for monarchs. I try a lot of things including fruit.
A warning, its good more weeds than I like.
It sounds like you have a lovely garden. I’d like to see it.
You’re on! I will post more of this garden in the future
I’m eager to see it. Feel free to message me when you publish.
I do not have a yard. If I had the dwarves they would have been there. and statues like yours.
I can’t imagine not having some sort of garden, even though mine has to be small now. So far, except for one small statue I found somewhere, my only art is the flower color.
This is adorable. I have a memorial garden for Dustin in my yard. I have a memorial plaque, angels, a rosebush, and I try to keep adding to it.
What a beautiful tribute, Carol. Had we not been moving right away, I might have planted a similar garden for Jason, but in his case, his favorite climbing trees are probably more appropriate. Unfortunately, his favorite climbing tree has been cut down by the tenants. There may have been a good reason, but it still makes me sad.
Oh I can inly imagine. I had to move and start all over but the memories are still in our heart. Yes, his garden is very therapeutic for me. My profile cover photo is part of the garden.
I had noticed that. It is therapeutic to be outside in the garden and thinking of our sons as we work with our plants. We can remember when they were in the garden with us on occasion, helping.
Beautiful photograph, Barbara! What a cute little statue! I also love frogs and garden gnomes in the garden 🙂
Some of my neighbors have those, as well as turtles.
Great photo, that’s very pretty!
Thank you. I like this sculpture style depicting children and/or animals. .
Awe, she’s cute. Great subject for something man made. Now let’s see. I like natural looking ponds and rock fountains, though I do like cute statues. As for seeing any interesting garden art, I am having to think really hard, and can’t come up with a thing. Perhaps that would be a good theme one day for this challenge. In the garden.. Thank you for the idea. : ) Also, I guess the only kind of garden art I have is a little cat that sits on a pot, and a cool solar lantern. My yard is very small.
Thank you for posting this for the challenge!!
I spend a lot of time photographing gardens in my neighborhood — especially since almost everyone is replacing their lawn with something drought resistant. Lot of them feature garden art.
I have seen that as well! I love the cacti and rock gardens too. Lawns are definitely on their way out around here anyway, and with good reason right? I also like the idea of growing veggies instead of lawns. Most have beautiful blooms too. : )
I think the reason they aren’t suggesting planting veggies in front is still that they need a lot of water. It’s also hard to secure some of the front gardens. People might be able to do more damage than deer.
Nice statue of the overseer.
I think she captures the spirit of a child in the garden.
