Garden Statues-Henri Fountains

At gardenstatues.org! We offer High Quality Henri Fountains and Brass Baron products and believe that the foundation of any good garden is a sense of uniqueness. We also believe that nothing creates a sense of uniqueness quite like a quality garden statue. Whether it is a miniature for a window planter or a massive recreation of a classical work of art, statues give a sense of character to any garden. Even if the only thing you want from your garden is food production, a scarecrow can help keep the local wildlife from taking your hard earned crops.

The first step towards making a solid garden statue purchase is to size up your garden area. A lawn gnome would look rather lonely and out of place at the center of a 15 foot plaza. By the same token, a ten foot tall statue will be oddly outsized in a tiny garden plot. While garden statues add mightily to the ambiance of a garden, they shouldn’t take up more than about ten percent of the available land space. The same could be told about fountains. Be aware of the size of the fountain and its requirements for water and power prior to committing to a particular fountain. A perfect size for a fountain is 25-30% of the space should be allocated to the fountain. You will find the perfect sixed Henri Fountain for just about any space you would like to create your dream living space. Maintaining this ratio will ensure that you are not overwhelming the area with the fountain.

Once you know your space restraints, the next step is to ascertain your budget. Garden statues run the gauntlet in price, from a cheap plastic flamingo up to pieces of art that cost more than the average person sees in their lifetime. More than likely, your budget runs somewhere more towards the center than either of those extremes. Knowing your budget going into the purchase will give you a better ability to cull those statues that fall outside your price range from consideration. Sticking to your budget will also help ensure you aren’t stuck with buyer’s remorse. Be especially careful to select quality brands such as Henri or Brass Baron as higher quality brands will often last much longer, guarantee service and provide technical support.

Once you have the size and price range of your garden statue set, you will be in a much better position to shop for one. The next decision to make is a stylistic one, and it was probably made at least in part long before you ever set out to get any garden décor. How do you want your garden to feel? Do you long after the European tradition, with formally laid out planter beds, cobbled pathways, with fountains and statues of famous rulers and nobility dotting the landscape? Or do you want something less regimented, such as a Japanese style walking garden, with ornamented, but understated statuary, a winding, organic feel to the landscape, and a more subtle blending of plant types? These are the two most solidly established types of decorative garden, but there is always the farmer’s garden. These feature few frills, instead opting for orderly rows of vegetables to ensure a great yield for whatever size plot of land you are working with. None of these garden types is wrong, and which you most closely want yours to resemble will have a big impact on what kind of garden statues you are interested in.

Even within a given style, there will be a wide array of statues to choose from, and that is part of the appeal of adding garden statues to your yard. Everyone knows what a rose looks like, or a sunflower, or tulips, or even a cherry tree. However, when you begin adding statues into the mix, you create a whole that really is greater than the sum of its parts, a whole that you will be able to enjoy for years to come. Look at the variety of Henri Fountains to help make your ourdoor living space truly a masterpiece!
