The creativity in gardens today is only limited by your imagination, so if you are wanting to add some artistic features to your garden, and have the space to do so, then you certainly should. Gardens are not simply a haven of growth anymore, they are a space of tranquility and relaxation, and if adding some art to your garden will help you achieve that, then we can help you do so.
There are three kinds of garden art that you can choose to complement the growth in your garden. Formal art pieces are statuary and sculpture form and these come in the form of sundials, statutes, obelisks, and formal pieces of art. Semi-form art are the kinds that are more children and family friendly. You will see these in birdhouses, copper wind chimes, or statues of children and animals. Informal art is the miscellaneous category for everything else, and these are signified by true pieces of imagination that reflect who you are as a person, and as a gardener.
Your personality should be reflected in your garden, so donāt confine yourself to one form of art. Mix and match as you see fit, and if you find something you have an emotional attachment with, even better. Garden art can be found wherever you want it to be found, the most exquisite sentimental pieces can be found right in your own attic.
As you place your garden art, use places where visual interest will be maximized. Or, if your piece is more sentimental, put it where only you can cherish it. Use your art as focal points that draw the eye to the piece, and complement the rest of your garden. If you have bare spots or patches that need *something* this will be a good place for a piece of garden art.
The key to garden art is to accent and complement your garden, not to overtake it. Approach your garden from both sides when you are placing your pieces. Both the selection of your art as well as the placement should be a reflection of who you are. This alone will set your garden apart from anyone elseās, as well as maximize your enjoyment of your garden oasis.
