Hello, fellow gardeners and art lovers! Artwork in a garden—that’s interesting and exciting! Not the garden gnomes that an old lady would buy but the real garden artworks that can transform the backyard garden into an entirely new universe that would make the neighbors green with envy.
So, let’s get our gloves from the gardening box and dive into the world of garden statues!
First of all, when choosing a statue for a garden, one should treat it as a form of art. Each statue has its message and character, so one should find the statue that expresses the garden’s or the backyard’s ambiance. So one should determine the mood – something cosy and homey, dreamy, or imperial, size – will it be one petunia high or will it tower above sunflowers?
Also, it should be decided what materials are preferable – stone, metal, resin. Now, statues differ very much by:
- Animal statues; bring a little wilderness to one’s little paradise; how about an eagle as a representation of every member of a family or a dog or a cat people’s pet over there;
- Fantasy figures; something to bring out the little child within: dragons, fairies or whatever else;
- Historical; something for the story-lovers: how about a Caesar?.HashSet, if that doesn’t chill by the hydrangea!
- Abstract; those who prefer a modern garden style. Having a copy of abstract art from the trendiest gallery is just stellar!

Religious statues in the garden.
Let’s take the high road here. A relaxing Buddha, a loving angel, or whatever god speaks to you, a religious figurine adds another layer of feelings to your garden. It is not only a decoration but also a sign of faith, hope, and a connection between the human world and the heavenly one. In addition to that, they create a perfect place for meditating in your backyard.
Materials and maintenance.
You should choose the right material for your statue. Stone will make it look more classic, metal – more modern, and resin – more affordable. But you shall keep in mind that with great statue comes great responsibility. All of the material choices need decent maintenance against their worst enemy – bad weather.
Impact on the atmosphere
Garden statues are the final touch of your landscaping. They determine the atmosphere: peaceful, with the help of a Buddha, or magical, with fairytale figurines scattered across the garden. It all depends on the light, the plants, the sound of the water, and the reason of your garden.
