Garden
ornaments, that
personal touch
By Rhea Hamilton -Seeger
If you are looking at your garden
and feeling there is something
missing, you are not alone. One of
the ways of making a garden truly
your own is to decorate it.

If yours is to be a formal setting with
trimmed hedges you may be looking
at a replica of a Greek statue. It takes
you into the past. If you want a more
futuristic feel you may be looking at
a metal sculpture. Ornaments also
include archways, pergolas or arbours
used to frame garden rooms. They are
