The role of metal garden statues in garden design
Garden statues have been important in garden design for centuries. They often symbolize something valuable to the owner, such as spirituality, a connection with nature or a personal memory. In the past, statues of gods and goddesses were often used to give the garden a mythical look, while animal statues were used to emphasize the natural beauty of the area.
