Choices are truly mind bog­gling. There was a pink flamingo too, but it flew away.

Where do you stand on gar­den dec­o­ra­tions? From the clas­sic cherub to the lady in the polka dot dress bend­ing over, to sacred images, there’s lots you can plunk down in your gar­den space these days. It’s not just gnomes any­more. Of course you can still find gnomes around too, in var­i­ous lev­els of grotesque vs cute.

I hap­pen to like my sister’s small col­lec­tion of clas­sic look­ing con­crete rab­bits. I know one gar­dener who dec­o­rates her funky, edgy gar­den with bowl­ing balls and plas­tic ani­mals. I found a stream­lined black cat at a thrift store last year that met my par­tic­u­lar gar­den art stan­dards: a lit­tle bit fun, a lit­tle bit classic.

Or maybe you are a purist and wouldn’t be caught dead with a gnome under your shrub­bery. Weigh in on the comments.
