Whimsical Garden Decor


Do you need a laugh now and then? Can you use something fun to brighten up your day? I believe everyone needs a little fun and laughter in their lives. A whimsical spot in your garden really perks things up, and you can also have fun creating it. Give it a try, it's guaranteed to make you smile.



The best place to start is to gather some whimsical garden decor, whatever you want, Frogs, Garden Gnomes, pink flamingos, monkeys, Whatever you like. great items can be found everywhere on the Internet, There are even naughty Gnomes. Gnome accessories too, such as gnome doors and windows, bridges, wishing wells, mail boxes, even outhouses. (well gnomes need to relieve themselves too, don't they?)


Frog decor is a great idea too, You can build a toad town, There are fat frogs, funny frogs ,frogs that sit on rocks, Royal frogs, dangly frogs, even frogs with bumps like chicken pox. O.K. that wasn't perfect, but You have to give me credit for trying. I'm nuts about frogs, some people might say I'm just nuts. But I think that in today's world you have to be a little nuts just to get by. At least in my world you do.








Pink flamingos are fun too. Believe it or not they are making a return to the gardens. I also have a soft spot for the big garden goose that you dress up according to the season. Mine has a Santa suit, Indiana Pacers dress, a rain coat and of course a leopard print bikini and straw hat. She is one cool bird.



No matter what you like you can make a fun spot in your garden, It doesn't have to be a big spot. Gather you stuff first and get some ideas in your head, It can be anything at all. I know a lady that has a bottle garden, Why? Well, I guess she likes to save pretty bottles and wanted to make a place in her garden for them. It is pretty, especially her bottle tree. All it takes is your imagination and a little work to create something great and make you smile and that alone is worth it.

I love your sense of humor. The garden whimsy is just what we all need to remind ourselves not to take life so seriously. We need to smile and relax;)

I have a concrete bunny that I love. Always wanted a gnome.

I agree with Marnie, we need to smile and keep it light. Whimsy sure helps! I'm a gnome person:)
