Garden Fairies

The main goal of most gardens is growing various types of greenery. The garden acts as a private sanctuary where we can tend and show off beautiful flowerbeds, carefully pruned hedges, and stately trees. Nevertheless, the backyard always looks better with a bit of garden statuary. The right type of animal garden statues can give the yard a natural touch of drama and beauty, and garden fairies provide a mystical, magical touch. However, even if a garden is decorated with the best and most beautiful of sculptures, the decorating isn't truly complete until a water feature has been installed.

This can take the form of a small pond although most people settle for the beauty and natural grace of a fountain. A fountain takes still water and brings it to life. It gives it voice in the form of bubbling laughter and when you listen to that refreshing sound, it cleanses the worries and stress from the soul. It's an invaluable, natural form of therapy that can be expressed by any type of fountain. The Alpine Approach Garden Fountain has an impressive natural appearance that resembles steadfast Alpine granite being washed by clear, cold streams of water. Counter its impressive faux stone appearance with the weathered wood and stone look of the Ridge Point Garden Fountain Sculpture.

Garden statuary doesn't have to be limited to your own decorating projects. Buy statues and sculptures of gnomes, fairies, and other subjects for friends and family and you might be surprised at how much they like such a gift. Resin statues and sculptures make for excellent gift items in part because people don't usually get them for a birthday or other occasion. They represent a fun change from the status quo while providing loved ones with long-lasting, beautiful decor.

Of course, you have to make sure that the sculptures you pick out will also be appreciated and loved by the person you are giving them to. For example, you probably don't want to pick out a gargoyle statue for someone who never watches horror films and has no interest in the fantasy genre. He or she probably won't appreciate even the best of gargoyle gifts so it's better to stick to something like animal garden statues or a beautiful stone garden angel. There are dozens of detailed animal sculptures to choose from and we have a veritable host of angels suited for every taste and garden.

Every backyard could use a few more garden fairies and especially when our collection of fairies includes such exquisite beauties as Rhiannon the Archer and The Daydream Fairy Sculpture. Each of these detailed fairies look so real that you might start to wonder if they come to life on enchanting evenings where a full moon lights up the backyard.

It's also a wonderful time to buy and save on garden gnomes for gifts or for your own backyard. The Sammy the Swinging Gnome Statue is a classic, plump garden gnome seated on a swing. He is the very essence of happy summertime days and will give a positive, cheerful touch to anyone's backyard. Folks who prefer gnomes with a unique appearance will love the magical Moon Gawker Garden Troll Statue. Although this sculpture shows a small garden troll rather than a gnome, it makes for a cute, enchanting addition to the garden.

Asian garden statues are a welcome addition to most backyards. Whether the yard already has garden fairies or classic Greek statuary on display, Asian decor can provide a peaceful, enchanting touch that reminds us of the need for tranquility in our lives. While quiet and peaceful depictions of a meditating Buddha are a common and fitting aspect of Asian gardens, Asian-themed decor also includes dramatic pieces like ornate and beautifully detailed bronze dragons. Some Buddha statues are also meant to inspire laughter and add a light-hearted touch to the garden.

One such easy-going Buddha sculpture is The Laughing Maitreya Buddha Statue. This jolly Buddha is all smiles as he contently sits and waits to hand out candy to lucky children. Rub his belly for good fortune and let his laughing face wash away your worries.

Another delightful, laughing statue comes in the form of a sculpture of Shou Xin Gong, the Chinese God of Longevity. Wise Shou Xin Gong expresses his happiness with an open smile as he offers the peach of immortality, a fruit said to bloom once every 3,000 years. This is the fruit that made the mischievous Monkey King immortal after he stole one and took a few bites. Shou Xin Gou holds the staff of longevity in his other hand and is said to grant a long life to those who put statues of him on display.

Gargoyles are such an interesting type of garden statuary. Unlike their angelic counterparts, these statues are designed to scare away evil spirits and evil-doers and attempt to accomplish this with toothy grins, a formidable muscled appearance, big clawed hands, and intimidating bat-like wings. They are the very definition of frightening so it might seem odd to put them in the garden. Nevertheless, these mythical creatures can be quite endearing and many of us find them to be simply fascinating. They remind us of gothic cathedrals, royal European castles, and fairy tales. They lend a certain sort of enchantment to any garden and that's why gargoyle figurines also make excellent gifts for just about anyone.

Emmet the gargoyle sculpture is downright cute and looks about as intimidating as a puppy. In fact, he looks like he needs a friend and will find plenty of fans when placed in a prominent spot in the garden. On the other hand, you wouldn't want to go near The Chained Cathedral Gargoyle. There's a reason why this protective, feisty gargoyle is kept on a chain and he shows it with tensed muscled arms, outspread wings, and an open, toothed maw.

For a truly frightening gargoyle, you can't get much more terrifying than the sculpture of Scatheus, Guardian of the Shadows. The fine details and savage of appearance of this gargoyle make it seem as if the beast  is ready to come to life!

Get 20% off any on sale gargoyle or other on sale item at Design Toscano until February 1st as part of our Mid-Winter Clearance Sale!

There are ups and downs to having a garden inhabited by fairies. According to folklore, the upside is that they can help your garden grow. They use their magic to give flowers the brightest of colors and fill vegetable patches with produce. However, those benefits don't come without a price. Fairies have to be treated with respect and provided with small gifts or they demonstrate their disappointment by sabotaging the garden and focusing on mischief.

In keeping with fairy folklore, we offer fairy statues that show their mischievous side. Pixies in particular are said to be fairies that would rather cause problems and play practical jokes than weed the garden. Stretch, the Garden Pixie laughs with glee as it leans forward to surprise your guests with a cold, wet frog. Its mischief is only matched by that of its partner in crime, Sling, the Garden Pixie. This fairy is clearly up to no good as it carefully aims its slingshot at your window, the nose of your favorite stone garden angel, or pet dog.

Both of these enchanting sculptures portray the mischievous nature of pixies with artistic detail. Their long, pointed ears, peaked hats, sinewy muscled appearance, and intelligent faces will make you wonder if these statues might just come alive on a midsummer's eve.

Save on these fantastic fairy sculptures, beautiful animal garden statues, and hundreds of other quality resin garden statues at Design Toscano.

Every backyard looks better with a bit of decor. Whether the size of a postage stamp or an acre of green, animal garden statues and various types of garden statuary help to give it character and turn it into your own personal green space.

Go for unique, quality items that will make a statement and compliment the beauty of your backyard.

These are items such as the exquisite Fairy of the West Wind Sitting Statue or even detailed gargoyle figurines like the Silas the Gargoyle Sentry. Each of these is essentially a beautiful work of art that adds a huge amount of character to any garden and are a tiny sampling of the huge array of fairy and gargoyle sculptures we carry.

Animal statues help to give your garden a wild look with natural beauty. The success of animal sculptures depends on their realism and this is why we offer items that stand out for their lifelike details such as the Shadowed Predator Black Panther Statue.

Garden statuary isn't just limited to the garden. A lot of pieces make statements in both the greenery of the backyard and the office environment. Once summer has winded down and the leafless trees of winter have become part of the backyard landscape, some sculptures just look lonely out there in the garden. Better to bring those pieces indoors to cheer you up or act as a source of inspiration in the office. While most garden fairies look better in the backyard, some gargoyles look right at home in the office.

The comical Detest the Rest Gargoyle Statue can be a great addition to many an office. Unlike other gargoyles, Detest looks more annoyed than ready and willing to defend the castle or church. Since he looks miserable out there in the cold, you might as well bring him inside and put him in a corner of the home or right on your office desk. His scowling demeanor will make you feel as if someone understands during those frustrating and stressful of days. Since no one wants to look like a gargoyle, it may also remind you that the anger might not be worth the effort.

Fore! Unless you live in Florida or some other rather permanently warm place, the next game of golf needs to wait until April or May. Nevertheless, that doesn't stop avid golfers everywhere from thinking about hitting the links. They watch the tournaments on television, keep up on golf news, look online for a new set of clubs, and talk about planning a vacation to Scotland. When golf gets in your blood, it stays for good and that makes it easy to find gifts for the golfer.

Golf enthusiasts will love Finishing the Eighteenth Hole Golf Caddy Sculpture. This classic, detailed statue harkens back to early twentieth century golf on fabled Scottish greens. Lantern in one hand and the other cradling a bag of choice irons, he peers ahead to asses the situation. This piece is so intricate and beautiful that even non-golfers will like it but is an essential statue for those who would rather hit the greens every single day of the year.

Two other golfing sculptures of the highest quality are the Going for Par statues. Cast in the traditional lost wax method, these beautiful bronze statues capture the action and essence of golf and are destined to be heirloom pieces.

Most people receive more guests and do a lot more visiting themselves during the winter holiday season. There are more parties at this time of the year and people tend to make more efforts to see family and old friends. Given the high number of guests, it's also when we should pay more attention to how they are greeted.

Sure, you want to give everyone a warm, personal welcome but the greeting can start long before they reach your front door. Both short and long walkways can be used to greet guests in a variety of ways and it's best accomplished with statues. The power and permanence of such a greeting is attested to by the fact that castles, manors, and churches in many parts of the world have been doing just that for centuries. Some ancient cities even greeted visitors with statues that flanked the main roadway to the front gate.

The practice has been popular because statues can make a bold statement. While a gargoyle statue was partly meant to intimidate all who dare pass the threshold, if you wish, you can provide a much more gentle welcome with angel sculptures. Our Majestic Angel Guardians were crafted for an Italian cathedral and provide guests with a royal welcome at your gate. A pair of Bergama Ranaissance Angel Statues also make for a fine welcome to your home.

If you still aren't sure what to get certain friends and family members this holiday season, Greek garden statues and other outdoor sculptures are a great gift idea. Even if the lucky person in question doesn't have a garden, if you give them quality statuary that also matches their personality or passion, they will love it.

For example, musicians in the family who like classical sculptures will appreciate the breathtaking Muse with Harp sculpture. Crafted by artist Carlo Bronti, the details and curves of this sculpture lend to a lifelike, stunning appearance. From the waves of her hair to her flowing gown, she expresses the beauty of bringing music to life and it almost seems as if you can hear the notes issuing forth from her classical Greek harp.

Another classic sculpture for the musician is our popular Music from Heaven Angel Statue. Any musician will relate to the content, satisfied look on the face of this angel as she makes music with her ornately carved harp. If you think you hear notes coming from the harp, it won't be your imagination either because the strings are wind chimes that make music inspired by the wind!

Garden statuary doesn't just have to act as interesting backyard decor. As with any artwork, given the right pieces, they can also make statements and act as sources of inspiration. This is exactly what the majority of religious-themed artwork is meant to accomplish and although angels can fall into both religious and non-religious categories, they tend to be inspirational. Even those adorable baby angels known as cherubs can inspire us in a variety of ways.

The Plant a Garden Cherub Statue will inspire any gardener to put a bit of extra effort into weeding the flower beds and caring for the vegetable patch. This classic, detailed cherub statue supports a book with chubby arms and wavy haired head that reads, "To Plant a Garden is to believe in tomorrow".

In a different corner of the garden, another cherub can inspire hope for better weather as it holds up a sundial and looks to the sky with an innocent, joyful face.

You can also give an inspirational welcome to guests of the garden with the Raphael's Cherub Twins Welcome Statue. The classic, wide-eyed angelic babes in this welcome statue sign are modeled after two of Raphael's famous Renaissance cherubs.

Cranes are among the most noble of bird species. Stately and long-lived, these regal birds are also known for their fidelity and dancing courtship displays. Although cranes are found on many parts of the globe, the majority of species occur in eastern Asia. This is made apparent by their frequent depictions in Chinese and Japanese art. The innate elegance of Red-crowned, Japanese, and Sarus Cranes turns them into naturally good subjects for works of art and just as these birds are encountered in the wild, they are typically painted and sculpted in pairs.

The elegance and beauty of the crane has earned it a venerated spot in Asian gardens for hundreds of years. Since crane species are generally too wild to visit even the most beautiful of enclosed gardens, artists began to create bronze sculptures and stone statues of these birds to be used as garden decor. That tradition continues to this day and is wonderfully represented by our bronze crane statues. Available in three sizes, these verdigris patina bronze garden sculptures add a touch of classic elegance to any backyard.

To make an even bigger impression with beautiful bronze crane statues, get the Colossal Cranes Bronze Garden Sculpture. Water is piped through the beaks of both of these stately bronze statues to turn them into elegant animal fountains.
