Decorating Yards With Metal Garden Art

By Catalina Nielsen


A colorful, fragrant garden can be a place of beauty, serenity, and meditation. It can add not only to the interest and beauty of an outdoor space, but when properly coordinated with metal garden art, it can be transformed into a work of art. Such art ranges in appearance from small flowers, and birds, butterflies and bees, to angels, suns, or small wind mills. Art not only provides contrast to gardens, and outdoor spaces, but is also fun and creative to include.

Creative ensembles of birds, leaves, flowers, cats, fairies, elves, can all be added to outdoor spaces for a creative space. A burst of color from larger sunflowers create an interesting contrast to real flowers, as to do yard animals, imitation farmers, and other metal art people. Yard arrangements are fun and easy to create, and only takes a little imagination.

Many smaller pieces are perfect for flower beds, and decorative grass, while bigger pieces can be used to create contrast, illusion, and imagination. Bigger pieces can be arranged, and placed in the ground in attractive ways. Bigger pieces include art such as farmers in a yard, with barrels, or flower buckets. They can be arranged with other art, or simply placed by themselves.

Other decorative items, such as ball trees, can be used. Ball trees are excellent to use for more artistic arrangements, and add an element of style. They are metal trees, whose branches curl and reach. They have glass balls on them, or in some cases plastic. Some are in decorative buckets, others simply placed in the ground. They can be used as holiday trees as well, and other items beside the balls can be hung on them, if desired.

Ball stakes are also a colorful and artful way of decorating gardens. They are small swirling branch stakes, with colorful plastic balls. Ball stakes can be placed in gardens, amongst flowers, and grass to provide color, creativity, and a bit of interesting style.

Humming birds next to flowers, or other items such as creative mermaids, or hula girls are also interesting pieces to include. Adding silhouettes also adds to the overall art, and creates a bit of illusion. Girls bending over with a water can, or a boy picking flowers adds an element of imagination, and are fun to include. Other art of squirrels eating, or bunnies hopping are also fun.

Poppies on a steel stick also are great ideas. Purples, blues and whites can be coordinated into a yard design that intrigues and captivates. This is even more true when surrounded by bigger items, such as sunflowers, and flower or plant leaves. It also adds a strong sense of illusion when mixed with real plants. This is also great for hard to decorate spaces in need of a little color.

Coupled with other art or yard pieces and the perfect yard scene has been created. A myriad of pieces exist that will add to the arrangement of color of art. Create a perfectly created outdoor space with metal garden art, which will also bring life, and style.
