Whimsical Garden OrnamentsWhimsy is defined as an odd or capricious idea ~ anything quaint, fanciful, or just plain goofy. And whimsy is something that all but the most formal gardens deserve, because it reminds us that gardening is something to be enjoyed but not taken too seriously. 'Garden of Hearts' A Whimsical Wonderland for the Heart! The owner proudly showed her garden and yard. A tribute to her late Mother.
Whimsical elements in the garden may include sculpture, such as this heart shaped seating area, bird houses, statues, even the fence has a 'light hearted' touch. Soft greys and muted pink flowers complete this garden made from the heart.
Requiring little space these birdhouses are a delightful addition on a garage wall and brighten a shade garden.
And when you're done, you have more than just a touch of whimsy in your garden ~ you also have an interesting conversation piece.
An unusual 'Chain Link' ornament that serves as a hanger for Whilygigs.
Honeysuckle vine, milk cans, a painted stepping stone along side a pot of old-fashioned daisies add quaint charm to a garden shed.
I will admit that whimsical garden ornaments are not for everone. But for those of you who, like me, don't take your gardening too seriously, whimsy is good ~ for the heart and soul!
