Lesson 11:Garden Adornments And Structures

Statues

• Statues of animate or inanimate objects carved out of stone or made of bronze with good artistic value and taste are placed for beautification and to improve the look of a garden.
• Beautiful marble figures of artistic value are placed in suitable places to enhance the charm of the garden. Statues may be of figures of angels, ladies or children .


• Statues can be placed in the midst of a running stream of water, along the border of a big lawn, at the cross sections of two roads, at the end of a road or near the doorway of the house.
• The figures should be of a decorative character.
• When the back view of the figure is of no great interest, it may be placed at the background of plantings, trellis or walls.
• Modern sculpture though very much alive, is not yet generally understood and does not appeal to the average garden lover.
• Towers and sculptures are sometimes placed at the edge of water so that they form reflections in the water.
