n arm1llary sphere, patina'd with age. A rustic thatch-roofed birdhouse. A softened and pale marble figure, or a colorful Victorian-era gazing globe, reflecting the garden like a funhouse mirror. Even amid the naturally decorative bounty of flowers and shrubs, it is ornament that seasons the garden with mystery, or makes us laugh, or sets us to contemplation. Generously illustrated throughout with full-color photographs, Garden Ornament is a source of both inspiration and practical ideas. It explains how to select the right ornament, how to integrate ornament into each setting, and how to use ornament and its many subtle qualities to instill a sense of depth and resonance in the garden.
