Unusual Garden Ornaments: Create Your Perfect Garden Setting
Every garden tells its own story, and unusual garden ornaments help write those special chapters. From quirky to classical, these distinctive pieces bring personality to quiet corners and open spaces alike.
Our collection ranges from gentle pieces that nestle among plants to bold statements that command attention. A well-placed unusual garden ornament can turn an ordinary space into something rather special - perhaps a carved stone face peering through ferns, or a striking modern sculpture catching the morning light.
Choosing Your Garden Features
Our large Water Features and Fountain collection work really well with our unusual ornaments, creating peaceful spots where the sound of trickling water compliments your statues in the garden. For those seeking tranquility, our Buddha Statues offer peaceful presence, for meditation spaces and sheltered corners.
Children love our Animal Garden Ornaments, where cute little creatures bring smiles to your garden's flower beds and rockery. Playful otters, wise owls, and cheeky mice - each ornament made to weather naturally and settle into its setting.
Placing Your Ornaments
Consider scale when positioning your pieces. Larger items work brilliantly as focal points, while smaller ornaments can create delightful surprises along garden paths. Morning and evening light can dramatically change how your ornaments look - take time to watch how shadows play across their surfaces throughout the day.
Care and Maintenance
Our ornaments are made to last, crafted from quality materials chosen for British weather. A gentle wash now and then keeps them looking their best. For winter care, simply check they're stable and drain any water features before frosts arrive.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best base for my garden ornament?
A firm, level surface is essential. For heavier pieces, a paved or gravel base works well. Lighter ornaments can sit happily on compacted soil, though adding a paving stone underneath helps with stability and maintenance.
Will my ornament change colour over time?
Natural materials like stone and bronze develop gentle patinas as they age. This weathering adds character and helps your piece blend naturally into its surroundings. The process varies with different materials - stone may darken slightly, while bronze develops rich, warm tones.
Can I move my ornament once it's placed?
Most pieces can be carefully repositioned as your garden changes. Choose a dry day, lift with care, and ensure the new spot is properly prepared. Larger items might need two people to move safely.
