Ideas For Your Backyard

Check out this great Memorial Day Special.  You can’t beat it!!

Nature lovers and patroits alike will find delight in this playful pair of garden stakes! Rustic metalcraft construction recalls classic Americana with a modern touch: Spring-loaded wings and tail move in the breeze for the illusion of flight! Center ring holds a 6 inch gazing ball (included); sturdy lawn spikes at bottom hold the stakes steady.

Why not add some pretty decorative birdhouses to your garden decor.  They will make great additions to your backyard as well as help to birds to find a resting spot or a place to call home?

This lovely little luxury villa for feathered flyers overflows with Victorian charm! Wouldn’t you like to see this in your backyard?

Have you ever considered using a table top fountain on your deck? or in a sun room?  As long as you can access electicity it would be ideal on a deck or in a sun room.  You will still be able to enjoy the sounds of the water without being in the hot summer sun.

Especially with this table top fountain where four froggy friends grab a cool drink of water from the cup of a lily pad leaf. A treat to behold, indoors or out!

It isn’t too late to add birdfeeders or birdhouses to your garden decor.

 Your garden visitors will like the royal treatment with this luxurious feeder! Burnished gold finish lends luster to a sculpted dish trimmed with doves and lilies; The deep bowl holds a generous amount of seed  fit for any feathered king. This birdfeeder will add a bit of  sophistication  to yourbackyard scenery!

If water fountains are an allure for you, but you don’t think that you have the room for one, check out the wall water fountains that are available.  These virtually do not take up any new space.  They are placed on an existing wall, could be the side of a house, garage or storage building. Just be sure you have a source of electric to run the pump that recycles the water. 

You will still be able to see and hear the running splashing water.

Now that you are planting your plants and perhaps repotting some of them, you might want to leave some of your plants on the porch or deck.  I found some great new plant stands that you might want to check out.

 These plant stands give that old world formal look.  I can’t wait to place my Boston Ferns on them.  What plant would you use?

I’m starting to get excited!  When the weather turns colder we lose alot of our featured friends, so now that it is getting warmer and things are growing again we’ll start seeing our feathered friends again.  Namely the Hummingbirds.

Did you know that you can attract hummingbirds to your backyard?  Plant brightly colored flowers and blooming bushes, and be sure to put your hummingbird feeders out.  Hummingbirds are attracted to bright colors.

What could be more fun than to have a touch of the outdoors inside.?  Even in the heat of summer when you would rather be inside you will still be able to enjoy the sound of water splashing!

A pair of froggy friends enjoys a soothing soak in cool cascading waters, defying the heat of a summer’s day! This whimsical fountain is bursting with  a fairy-tale appeal. This little fountain is sure to delight people of all ages.

Have you seen these candle lanterns?  There is a variety of candle lanterns, different sizes, shapes and colors, on the market today.  Most are relatively inexpensive and a great way to decorate your backyard garden while illuminating your pathways and/or defining the perimeters of your yard  for that graduation, wedding or party this summer.  And the great thing is they can be used again and again.

This adorable decorative birdhouse is the perfect  addition to your decor.   It is a replica of a little cottage that you might find in a wooded area or at the lake.  Complete with a screened porch to keep the bugs at bay.

 There are so many decorative birdhouses on the market.  It is so easy to complete a theme at a reasonable price.
