How to Personalize Your Garden with Accents

A garden is a truly special place to celebrate the changing seasons, enjoy the sounds of nature and find serenity. Think of your garden as a sanctuary — a stone’s throw away from your house, but a magical universe of your own creation. In essence, a garden can be whatever you want it to be. And you don’t even need a green thumb to bring a stunning garden design to life and make it bloom!

Certainly, plants and flowers are the heart of most gardens, but unique accents will truly set yours apart. If you don’t know where to start, think about delightful gardens you’ve seen and the details that made them memorable. Perhaps a tranquil outdoor fountain, gorgeous statue or playful garden gnome captivated your heart.

Design Toscano is proud to offer a globally diverse selection of creative outdoor décor. These great garden statues don’t require getting on a plane or leaving your own backyard to be transported to an exotic locale! Here are a few inspiring ideas to help you plan your dream garden.

Five Fantastic Ideas to Create a Dazzling Garden

In fact, incredible garden statuary from all over the world inspired many of Design Toscano’s exclusive designs. Now you can choose from an impressively eclectic selection of distinctive, finely detailed classic or contemporary designer resin statues to create your own memorable garden.

2.     Outdoor Fountains: With soothing sounds and unique beauty, a fountain adds an enchanting touch to any garden. One of the most legendary public fountains, Manneken Pis has stood near Brussels Town Hall since 1619. Our mischievous Peeing Boy of Brussels Sculptural Fountain honors the original, bringing humor and playful sound to your garden. It’s easy to see why our showpiece Quenching a Big Thirst, cast in designer quality resin, is top rated! We’re certain you’ll love this European-style fountain — from the giant Saint Bernard’s incredibly detailed fur coat — to the melodically musical bubbles! Create your own peaceful oasis with our LED-lit Asian-inspired Tranquil Springs Pagoda Garden Fountain featuring gentle water cascading down from two stone bowls balanced on a bamboo ledge.
