Do you still use garden ornaments in your lawn?

Flamingo gazing balls - The flamingo has been a favorite yard ornament for decades. Now the flamingo is back with a brand new updated look for any garden, the mirrored gazing ball. Pink has never looked better.

The gardening landscape has changed over the years and new products seem to be everywhere. Water gardening has swept the country even in the northern states and container gardening is not just for city dwellers any longer. Gazing balls can be found in many colors and sizes and now they can even be found as part of a statue. You can even find different styles of gazing balls that can actually hang in a tree or be part of the body of a bird or other animal. How many gazing balls do you have in your garden landscape? What styles of garden art do you use? Do you mix garden ornaments in your landscape? I like container gardening, naturalizing and water features. I am a big fan of container gardening and love gazing balls.

I have natural flat stone walkway in my garden. It goes right through the middle. The flat stones are from a farmer's field. They're varying shades of gray tones. That's all I have right now for my regular garden. My porch garden has a tree tiered wooden half-circle plant stand with terra catta (spelling?) flower pots. Besides gazing balls, the latest up here are little Fairy or Gnome houses. Water features are nice. If I had an artisian (spelling?) well, I'd have some.

I don't have any gazing balls but do have a ton of frogs....even a frog birdbath....I love how they have made them so cute! I usually just have pots of flowers too....in my landscaping.
