Do you decorate your garden?
I have a few ceramic and metal pieces scattered throughout the garden beds, on the fence or in this case on the wall of my enclosed back porch. I think my garden decor is tasteful and there’s only a few items scattered throughout the garden so it’s certainly not overwhelming. If anything is overwhelming in my garden it’s the roses.
My sun ornament is beside my green pole beans which really do grow on poles – bamboo poles that is. You can even see some green bean dangling beside the sun if you look closely. Perhaps my sun ornament is helping the beans grow?
I have cucumbers beside the beans and we finally got to pick a cucumber on Saturday. It was hiding behind several leaves and we surprisingly didn’t see it for a while. It’s close to two feet long and is at least 2.5 inches in diameter! It’s huge! Perhaps we’ll make some cucumber sandwiches later today. Mmmmm.
Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.
Love the sun decoration 🙂
Our garden is not nice enough for decoration yet, but it does have a nice bird table.
I most certainly do decorate my garden, and I make a lot of the decorations myself. I love to add a touch of whimsy to the garden … every garden should have some.
What a lovely ornament. Garden ornaments make the garden much more interesting.

I don’t have a lot of decorations in the garden. But I have a few things like a birdhouse, which isn’t for birds but for looks.
Nice post. I’ve only got a couple of things that you’d call garden decorations or “art” and they’re cheapo things.
I love yard art, and have to edit to make sure I don’t add too much. Your photo is lovely.

I love yard art!! In moderation of course! LOL!! 🙂
My wife and I have only had our house for a few months, and the previous owners didn’t do much with the yard. They basically liked all grass (and they did take very good care of their grass). Anyway, we’ve spent our time (and money) on trees, flowers, things to attract birds, etc., and haven’t decorated our yard with art, yet!
Hey, if anyone is a tree expert, come on over and let me know what I have in my yard. We bought a “mystery tree” for $15 today!
Very nice picture! I don’t have any garden decorations here yet–management is supposedly upgrading our privacy fences, but so far all they’ve done is taken two of the three sides away. Hopefully they will be done by next spring.
In my garden, there is a beautiful old stone urn framed by two small trees up against the wall at the back. Its not a large garden, but that conjures up images of big old English garden and so it makes mine feel bigger.
Yes, I do decorate my garden. I have a sun ornament sort of like yours. A dear friend gave it to me. I love it.
