Amish Wagon Decorative Indoor/Outdoor Garden Backyard Planter
No, this is not a wagon to sit in, but it does make for a great decoration, and it can be placed both indoors and outdoors, wherever you see fit really. For such a nice little wagon that can serve a variety of purposes, it comes at a very low price.
Review
This is a small decorative wagon, and while it cannot hold the weight of a human, it can definitely hold the weight of some plants or other decorations if you choose. You can choose between a green, red, and blue wagon.
It comes with large iron wheels and an iron handle, which makes it very portable and easy to move around, plus it helps provide for an old-school and very whimsical look. It’s got a really rustic and country style that will definitely bring some and atmosphere to any garden.
Ok, so technically speaking, this is designed to be a planter for some of your favorite plants. There is a fairly large rear section to this wagon where you can put soil in and plant shrubs and flowers. It’s pretty cool in this way, and there is a small front section where you can fit some plants as well, although these should be in pots.
One thing we do want to note is that although the wood is treated to resist moisture, it should not be soaking wet all the time, so be sure to not overwater your plants if you plant them directly in the rear of the wagon.
PROS
- Very cool old-school and rustic design
- Wheels and handle for portability
- Can be used indoors and outdoors
- Great for planting some plants or for holding flowerpots
- Comes in 3 different colors
CONS
- Should not get too wet
Chia Pet Decorative Pottery Planter
Here we have what amounts to a cool little novelty gift for people that like chia planters. Although that said, if you are going for a comical and light-hearted looking garden, you could definitely use it as a garden ornament too.
Review
The most important thing to know about these chia planters is that they come in the form of US presidents. They are heads of US political figures; you pour water over to make the included chia seeds grow, and yes, of course they grow where the hair should be.
Here, you can choose from various presidents and other US political figures, people such as Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Abe Lincoln, George Washington, Barack Obama, and Bernie Sanders. No, it’s not something you would put in a competitive garden, but it certainly provides a comical look and a few laughs.
This is a simple chia planter where you just put the included seeds on top, where the hair is, then you water the seeds, place the whole thing in some sunlight, and watch the chia plant grow.
PROS
- Neat little novelty gift
- Inexpensive
- Small and space friendly
- Super easy to grow
- Can be used for indoor and outdoor purposes
CONS
- More of a novelty or comical decoration than for serious gardens
Design Toscano Loonie Moonie Bare Buttocks Garden Gnome Statue
This is a really funny gag gift that you could get for somebody that appreciates a good joke and a bit of comedy. Yes, it is a garden gnome with his bare backside mooning anybody that dares to look. It’s cute, it’s funny, and it definitely makes for a good conversation starter.
Review
If you want to create a garden gnome landscape with funny little gnomes, this bare butt mooning gnome is definitely a great addition. The gnome is bent over with his backside raised high and proud, pants down, and mooning anyone in his path.
On the other side, his beard is so long that it touches the ground. He doesn’t talk or have any super special features, but his bare butt appearance is more than enough to make anybody giggle.
To complete the look, there’s even a little bluebird resting cheekily on his backside. There is also another model you can go with, one that features a happy birthday cake resting on his bare butt.
He’s about 8 inches tall, which is pretty average for a garden gnome. There’s also a larger option which is roughly a foot in height.
What you might like about this little joker is that he is made of high quality crushed stone, which is formed into this specific shape, and then held together by high quality resin. He’s not only funny looking, but a tough little guy too. He’s painted and covered in a UV resistant and waterproof coating to ensure that he’s a weatherproof gnome.
PROS
- Comical and funny
- Indoor and outdoor use
- Weather resistant
- Durable for a garden gnome
- Decent price
CONS
- Will shatter if dropped
Beachcombers Burnt Flower Bamboo Chime
Up until now, all of the garden ornaments we have looked at have been purely visual, which is of course fine, but here we have something that both looks good and sounds nice. If you want to add some audio to the mix, a windchime like this makes for some great garden décor.
Review
If you are looking for a windchime that has some really deep tones and notes, this Beachcombers Burnt Flower Bamboo Chime is a good choice. It has a really deep and pleasant sound, which is because it is made out of bamboo, unlike metal windchimes which tend to have a high, shrill, and downright annoying sound. Wooden windchimes like this tend to sound much better than their metal counterparts, not to mention that they look much better.
The deep brown and various other shades of brown work well with any garden. It’s just a really natural and eco-friendly looking windchime. Although it’s not the most durable item in the world, it’s still tough enough to last outdoors.
Now, if you live in a warm and dry climate, there’s not much to think about, but if you live somewhere rainy, make sure to keep it under some cover so it doesn’t get soaking wet too often. Other than that, there’s not much else to know. It’s just a beautiful looking bamboo windchime with a pleasantly deep sound.
PROS
- Works well with natural gardens
- Looks very nice
- High-quality bamboo
- Deep and pleasant sound
- Easy to hang
CONS
- Somewhat susceptible to moisture
EMSCO Group Cupid Statue
If you are going for a more serious looking and classic style garden, something like this EMSCO Group Cupid Statue might be a good option to consider.
Review
The EMSCO Group Cupid Statue is a 2 foot tall cupid statue that will sit nicely in a flower bed. It can make for a good center piece in any garden, you can place it at the center of a pong or fountain, or anywhere else you see fit. It provides a classic and sophisticated look. This is not a gag ornament like the gnome mooning all people in the vicinity.
This statue is made to look like real granite, which is nice, but it’s actually made out of high-quality resin which is much more durable than real stone, as it is 100% weatherproof and UV resistant, unlike stone which can wear down quickly with extreme weather.
Keep in mind that this ornament also comes in other colors and figures, such as a 29 inch tall statue of St. Francis or a 21 inch tall smiling dragon too. It’s a simple statue, one that can help add a bit of sophistication to any garden.
PROS
- Very durable
- Large
- Makes for a good center piece
- Comes in various figures and sizes
- Weatherproof
CONS
- Some edges may need a bit of sanding
- ListElement
- ListElement
FINAL VERDICT
