My rants about outdoor statues
You may find that a more contemporary piece makes the perfect foil for a traditional garden design for example. Don't disregard the whimsical approach either. For a vegetable garden for instance, animal outdoor garden statues provide just the right combination of charm and novelty. Finally, you don't always have to go for the obvious approach to outdoor garden statues placement. The center of your yard may be the one spot where your statues will never be missed, but this isn't necessarily better or even as appropriate as placing them where they will be framed more adequately, such as in a more picturesque corner of your yard.
