Adding statuary to a landscape is a popular garden tool. A finely placed statue creates a stunning focal point. The great thing about statues is that they come in a variety of sizes, shapes and themes. They become a way to draw the eye to a specific are, as well as creating a specific atmosphere, a place for your garden guests to relax and unwind. Statues should be a reflection of your personality, and they should blend in with the garden setting. Choosing a statue that is too small will not stand out again the rest of the garden features, but a statue that is to large can block the view of other beautiful sites.
You can give your statues an aged appearance if your setting is established and aged. To create the moss appearance mix together one part clay, one part fresh chopped up moss, one part diluted fish emulsion, and three parts water. This solution can then be painted onto the statues. The moss will stay here, and begin to grow, as the fish emulsion will feed the moss. You do not want to overcrowd your setting with too much statuary. It would be better to choose one statue as the focal point for a specific section. A statue that is 6 feet tall is a good size if your space permits, as this will allow the statue to stand out in the setting. Creating a flower bed around the statue is a lovely landscaping trick to make the focal point truly enchanting. You may want to add a bench nearby to create a relaxing place to sit and reflect.
