Garden Sculpture

A garden sculpture can be a primary focal point of a garden, or can be just one of many within a landscaping design. They can be as grandiose as a full-sized replica of Michelangelo’s “David”, or as modest as the infamous garden gnome. And as art truly is in the eye of the beholder, even abstract sculptures can have their place.

Because a garden sculpture will typically be exposed to the elements, it is important that it be created from a durable material. This is why most of the sculptures one can find at the average home and garden center are made from materials such as stone, metal, or fiberglass. Glass and wood are commonly used as well.

Of course, a garden sculpture can also be homemade. Many homeowners prefer to make their own sculptures, as it helps them infuse their own creativity into their garden. Others prefer to purchase one-of-a-kind pieces from local artists.
