Garden accessories are a fun addition to your garden or greenhouse. With a few accessories, you can create a fun or beautiful theme for your garden. Here are some ideas for garden or greenhouse themes to get you started.
Fairy Garden
Adding fairies to your garden could bring a bit of luck and whimsy to your greenhouse. Fairy statues, plaques, and plant markers add decoration and can be very useful as well.
Woodland Spirits
Adding a few woodland spirits to your garden will make you smile. These woodland faces are added to walk ways, trees, shrubs, and posts. They come in a variety of sizes, colors, and expressions, and you can even opt to give your favorite tree arms if the mood strikes.
Glitter, Sparkle, and Shine
Gardeners know that adding a little sparkle to your garden helps keep the birds away. Glitter tape, old CDs, disco balls, and wind chimes can be combined into an eclectic collection that doubles as a bird deterrent. In addition, you can use CDs and music themed decorations to create a rockin’ theme, or add a few disco balls to celebrate your love of the 70s.
Sun, Moon, and Stars
The sun, moon, and stars theme is very popular and with a few well-placed garden accessories, you can brig this theme into your outdoor oasis as well.
Castles and Knights
If you’ve always dreamed of being King Arthur or the princess of a castle, a castle and knights theme may be just what you are looking for! You can grow roses up a castle wall, water your plants from dragon shaped watering can, or create a moat complete with a drawbridge around your garden.
Asian Influence
An Asian inspired garden is a very popular theme. Zen rock gardens, bonsai trees, pagodas, water fountains, and coy ponds all make terrific Asian-inspired garden accessories.
Colors, Colors Everywhere
If you have a favorite color, why not bring your favorite hue into the garden with more than just flowers? You can add garden accessory accents in your favorite color, or select a color palate to coordinate with your garden furniture or home decor. You can even go for a rainbow effect and create a color paradise in your own backyard.
Sunflowers Galore
Sunflowers are an extremely popular garden and greenhouse theme. These brightly colored yellow petals offset nicely with the natural green of your plants. Or, you can add a few blue accents to contrast with your sunflower garden accessories.
Creating a garden or greenhouse theme with coordinating garden accessories is a great way to add some fun and personality to your gardening paradise.
