I bought them about 3 weeks ago
I've seen one blackbird drink from them
And the two wood pigeons who frequent my garden like to wet their feet in them!

They look nice,Rhian.

I've got a lot of ornaments in my garden that I inherited from my Dad. I remember my Mum sitting and painstakingly painting them. They were in my parents garden for donkey's years. I got them around 2000/2001. In that time I've repainted them twice.

They do add a nice splash of colour when the garden is otherwise bare.

This is part of the front garden with some odd ornaments.



Front garden again with the painted barrows, and that blue planter I made from an old pallet. In the background there are some old plastic pots I painted a few years ago, looks like they need some attention actually.



This is under the hedge in the front garden, Snow White and the 5 dwarves, there did used to be 7, I know I broke one but I think there's another one maybe fallen over there somewhere as there were definitely 6 last time I looked. Maybe it escaped.



This is in the back garden, it's an old bird bath stand but the bath itself got broken so now I use it as a pot stand.



This is an assortment of ornaments, the ones in the background are sort of water based and are situated around my fake pond. And I especially like my dragon at the front.



And this is at the top of the back garden (the pyramid is a defunct water feature). You can just see Laurel and Hardy hiding behind the Cordyline at the back.



I did find the other dwarf, it was Doc and he was asleep under the hedge
Nicol your garden is lovely, I bet you get so much pleasure sitting in that garden.

Re: Garden Ornaments

Hah, Look what I just found at the back of the greenhouse under the table. I was looking for a hose connection and found my Robins. I put them away last year and forgot about them. Will get them cleaned up and find a place to put them..

Re: Garden Ornaments

I don't have many garden ornaments but I bought these a couple of weeks form a garden centre, I thought they were different.

Now I need to go weed my gravel, I've just noticed they are popping up, the buggars

They're quite easy to make LQ. You Tube vids show you how. I want a big one but I just never seem to get around to getting the stuff.
