Birds and gardens go together like toast and jam. Because of that, it is perfectly fitting to grace your garden with one (or more) birdhouses. They can be installed in the ground or hung from just about anything. Different types of birdhouses attract different types of birds. There are wren houses, finch houses, houses for sparrows and the list goes on. Personally, I just love to look at them and if a bird makes itself at home, it's an added bonus! This Oct-Avian bird house was a Mother's Day gift and is a recent addition to my garden.

Garden statuary can be anything from cement geese dressed for the weather to saints and angels. There is a wide choice of sturdy items that will weather nicely and live happily in your garden. I have always had a statue of St. Francis of Assisi in my garden. For some reason, I can't imagine a garden being complete without him. He is the patron saint of Ecology and is best know for "preaching to the birds." Other ideas are cement benches, stepping stones with engraved quotes or small woodland animals.
