Garden ornaments

Good question! The best rule of thumb for placing your garden statue is to identify the purpose of the statue. Will it act as a centrepiece? Is it meant to complement a showy garden bed? Or perhaps you've chosen it as a subtle embellishment? Once you've identified the purpose of your statue, you'll be in a better position to find the perfect home.

The best material depends on the climate of your location. For example:

• Natural stone is the best material for humid or wet outdoor areas. It's non-porous and durable and will survive in this climate much longer than ornaments made from concrete.
• Ornaments made from materials such as brass, bronze, or stainless steel are excellent for dry areas which don't experience a lot of rain. If it gets wet, it will corrode the metal more quickly.

Yes — depending on the material of the ornament. You can certainly paint concrete ornaments. In fact, painting concrete will give it a longer life span in your garden. The paint will act as a sealant or a finish, so your concrete ornament will better withstand the elements.

To paint your concrete garden ornament, you’ll need to:

1. Wash the ornament with water — do not use soap
2. Brush away loose flakes using a dry scrub brush
3. Apply concrete stain as a base coat
4. Apply the paint colour of your choice — just make sure to use latex paints
5. Let the paint dry for around 24 hours
6. Apply a non-yellowing exterior latex sealer
7. Leave to dry for another 24 hours

Once you've completed the above steps, your ornaments are ready to be placed in your garden!
