garden statues

 

 

  A garden is an extension of one’s home…a lateral rendition of one’s personality and aesthetic standards. People are very sensitive when it comes to the maintenance or overall appearance of their gardens because they are like ‘welcome’ motifs of their home. After all the first impression is  a ‘lasting’ impression.
 
There are a dozen types of garden statues available, designed by world-class sculptors and designers. These vary from animals to religious symbols, fairies and angels, flowering plants and abstracts too. Again these are available in different material, prices etc. depending upon the make and quality.
 
The choice of a garden statue would depends upon the theme, if one wants to give it a theme that is. E.g. gardens are looked upon as a natural ecosystem, so one can give it the look of a ‘forest’ with various animal garden statues. Rabbits, lions, elephants are quite picturesque but even frogs can make a great décor piece! For a softer look, water fountains (can be accompanied with coloured lights) make a great bet and add a graceful hue to the chromatic landscape.

Religious or mythological symbols as these statues make yet another interesting décor element. Ranging from popular saints to Christ, from Buddha to Indian Ganesha, Gods and angels are also a favorite choice for several people. Gods are considered as a protective shield and thus kept in a garden to ward of evils and ‘keep watch’ from ill-minded people and other hazards.
 
Keeping in mind the fact that garden statues are such an important décor element, it is a must to evaluate the quality and durability of the piece, especially since it’s an outdoor motif. One would rather not display the expensive pieces in outdoor locations, thus the best bet is cement or concrete since they are cheap and not too easy to be carried off. Though some people do use variety like bronze, marble, resin etc. for garden statues.
 
A Garden statue is like a ornament. They add immense beauty and value to a plain jane botanical sphere. They personify the spirit of the garden and all the life species in it. It is a cynosure for the eyes as it stands out amongst the other commonplace elements. In a nutshell, the right choice of statue is a matter of prestige. ~ author Karishma Bajaj.
