Nice or naff outdoor stuff

Jagraf

I never had solar lights, but my neighbours garden looked so nice I've been born again and I've bought some.

While I was there I treated myself to some metal wall art and a sun and a moon. I even looked at some little frogs on stones but removed myself promptly from the aisle.

I know this is a gardening question, but its more to do with what people will think! I can see a couple of mini wind chimes coming on .....

What do you have in your garden?

If you want to p1ss off your neighbours, buy the wind chimes.

Plants, dirt and stones, mostly. Not a big fan of other garden 'art'. Though when I was younger I used to think that stone lions guarding the gate were pretty snazzy!

Wind chimes can be pretty. I'd go for a sundial and a maze if I had a big enough property

I don't really understand the appeal of plastic meerkats and other such tat - though they do seem popular in some areas...

Some solar powered lights and a very large, yucca that is half dead but we cannot shift.

Bird feeders, bird bath and nest boxes, buddha statue, green man wall plaque, solar lights and wind chimes that I only hang up when I'm spending time in the garden and there's a light breeze.

We have low wattage LED lights: blue for the decking lights, blue on the pergola and white in the borders.

I have a neighbour the other side who uses his shed to saw in during the evenings. I could get my own back!

Looks like lights are quite popular.

We've got a menagerie of African animal sculptures made out of old oil drums. There's a secretary bird, a fish eagle, a dung beetle (with ball of poo) a spitting cobra and a ground hornbill. There's also a bronze meerkat. Husband did threaten to get a life size statue of a rhino just to !!!! off our neighbour - until he found out that it was £7k :eek:

Small wind chimes.

Metal owl, metal lizard and metal butterfly brought from ideal home a couple of yrs ago. They're just plaques.

Two star lanterns for tealights also from ideal home.

I also have a bright windmill from the 99p store.

Bro in law likes the lights he has lots and lots and then some more.:rotfl: I keep telling him he needs to tone then down o he'll have a plane landing one day. Does look pretty though.

Just a couple of solar lights, some little toadstools on sticks and a gorgeous bird bath that my OHs mom bought and pretty much the whole family copied! They were made by a man who sells them to order to a local company, he must have wondered where the influx of orders came from!

I don't really like wind chimes myself but our neighbours have them and we hardly notice them really! I'm eyeing up some bird feeders because we seem to have a collection of little starlings and blackbirds.
