7 Classic Garden Accents

Remember to Use Restraint

Adding charm with garden accents calls for a certain degree of tasteful restraint. Think of it like getting dressed, only your garden is the clothing and the garden accents are the jewelry. You don't want to ruin the overall look by "over accessorizing". Anything overdone in terms of garish colors or excessive numbers can end up looking tacky and detract from, rather than add to, your yard's character.

Various accessories in your garden or lawn, can make it beautiful as well as interesting and be great conversation pieces. Some example are concrete statues or fountains, decorative or homemade stepping stones, colored gazing balls reflecting the surroundings, an old child's wagon or bicycle with a basket (which could hold potted plants). Pieces of old machinery from years past can accentuate, as well. Just use your imagination.

I add interest to my early spring garden with artificial flowers. Before you reject this idea, realize they are carefully selected, very realistic pieces. I am able to move the "fakes" around to fill dull spots, and for one purchase, I get years of use. These "plants" have perfect blooms every year. I use them sparingly.
