Art in Our Gardens

Our gardens are works of art! Sometimes it is fun to add other features that accentuate our spaces adding even more artist flare to our vision. Share your flare with us.

Oregon. My own aesthetic is to stay entirely natural if possible, using natural materials to create edging, supports, and “artistic” interest. The birds and I like it! Photo by Denise Cline.
Pennsylvania. Emmit watches over the garden and I carved a bee for the gate.
Michigan. I enjoy adding Garden Flags, Art Poles, bridges and other decor to my flower gardens to add visual interest and color year round. I change these features year round for the various seasons and holidays. Photos by Diane Rushlow.
Missouri. When I get stressed I look at this peaceful face. The stone bowl is a favorite with robins and cardinals, a perfect size bathtub. Photo by Regina Garrett.
Alberta. Pathway from the patio area to the backyard open space.
Virginia. Combining Annuals and perennials, as well as natives, in the garden. Also added my “Moe” statue and 4th birdbath during all this heat! Photo by Debra Kaastra.
Florida. Set a painted old wheelbarrow in the front yard Sunshine Mimosa in honor of Pride month. Planted with transplanted beach sunflowers, a muhly grass, and some coreopsis. Photo by Susan Saraceno.
Quebec. We have decided to enhance one of our flowerbeds with this beautiful rock, which a fledging American robin seems to like a lot! It provides an oasis of calmness and freshness. Photo by Julie Lamontagne.
Oregon. This heron metal sculpture was made by my son when he was in high school metals class. It sits by our pond where maidenhair fern, sword ferns, vanilla leaf, Oregon grape surround it.
California. Rock sculpture. Photo by Laura Thomas.
North Carolina. Sassy Green Goddess. Photo by Meg Henschel.
Connecticut. Pond and wall faces.
Pennslyvania. I added a bee, insect & butterfly hotel and a flower pick ornament. My flowers are blooming, but some perennials I planted last year did not grow back. So I added more bee balm, black eyed Susan, dianthus, red coreopsis, yellow tick weed, morning glory & native sunflowers.
Florida. These coconuts are being repurposed as edging.
Georgia. Path from front door to street.
Minnesota. The bed frame had been in my parent’s home. Photo by David Norby.
New Jersey. My sign changes with the seasons. Hand painted on slate as a welcome to humans and fauna alike. Photo by Madeline Giotta.
Tennesse. My garden is art, and forked path invites visitors to explore it. Photo by Lisa Fritz.
Maryland. I created a new pollinator garden and lined it with fallen branches.
Illinois. We’ve added a Buddha statue, a bird bath, and a pollinator garden sign to this mostly native garden. Photo by Kathy Rice-Trumble
