Brief Book Summary:
Statues, fountains, sundials, and obelisks--don't most of us want to live with beauty in a garden? Garden ornaments can breathe life into a garden, no matter its size. When art is placed in a garden, we are invited to explore and enjoy the experience. Abstract silhouettes, playful images, and forms in perfect balance bring discoveries with each new view. This new book presents nearly 500 colour photographs of over 350 garden ornaments: animals, maidens, children, miniature trains, urns, gates, pavilions, topiary, birdhouses, and many more. Experience an insider's tour of garden ornaments and learn from five notable artists as they describe their philosophies of art. Elizabeth Schumacher suggests how to select the perfect garden ornament and Hugh Collins, Jr. describes the magical journey you embark upon in integrating garden ornament, within your landscape. You may find a favorite garden ornament here, or find the inspiration to create a setting and display your own collection.

Who would have thought that the ornaments which adorn our gardens can be so diverse, calming and even whimsical. Take a look at Garden Ornaments: Pots, Pergolas, Pedestals and More, authored by E. Ashley Rooney, published by Schiffer and containing over 440 colour images. My favorite is on page 14 and is a contemporary female figure. She always makes me chuckle. There is the section on animal topiary. The aculptures might as well be alive. For those who wish to obtain these wonderful items, Ms. Rooney has included a section on resources and suppliers.

I need to give this book to all my winter-hating friends, who dread those falling temperatures. What lovely art is portrayed here. I never knew there were so many different types of sculpture, pots, water gardens, etc. that could be used to decorate those blank spaces in a garden, lengthen a pathway, or accenuate a corner. This book gives me new dreams and hope for the subsequent year. The foreword by Elizabeth Schumacher is replete with information.
