Using Frog Themed Decorations in The Garden

May 14th, 2010 by Mary No comments »

Having set your yard and garden up with the right Garden Decor, a homeowner can turn the back yard into – quite literally what I would call a stress relief sanctuary. Simple things such as adding a birdbath and wind chimes to provide soothing sounds after a frustrating day at work can make for a wonderful background aura when sitting outside drinking tea. Compliment this with relaxing amongst the color flowers and plants and you can see how the ambience of a garden is truly ones personal sanctuary.

It doesn’t have to be all serious though – one can have fun with silly or whimsical garden decor, such as using frog themed decorations in the garden.

One example could be the Happy Frog Birdbath from SPI. It’s a green frog standing upright lifting a lily pad over its head. The bath stands about 30 inches tall and 14.5 inches in diameter, and it is made of Aluminum.

For additional soothing sounds, pewter Frog Wind Chimes manufactured by Siskiyou might sooth the frazzled nerves. The chime comes in two sizes six or nine inches, and sparkles in the sunlight. The design is a frog sitting on a flowering lily pad with a wavy grass background.

For a burst of color, plant flowers around the birdbath. Taller flowers such as dahlias or sunflowers could provide a background and barrier to block the view of the neighbors yard. For vibrant red petals try some Geraniums.

For a pathway among the flowers, use paving stones or a Forest Frog Stepping Stone from Sunrise. The stones have a tree frog perched on a limb waiting for a tasty treat. They are a little under a foot in diameter and one inch thick.

Additional garden decor items include windsocks, flags, or banners. Toland makes a potted frog design. It sports a cute green and white frog sitting on an upside down clay pot with a geranium in the background. The banner also includes the word welcome to make the garden more inviting.

Enjoy your backyard sanctuary adorned with frog themed garden decor. You can breath the fresh air, relax in the sun, and forgot about work.
