Garden Art


Well Well .. What is a garden with out a piece of Art?
Don't you think gardening is an art, science and nirvana ?
I do enjoy many styles of garden art.

Desert style, Victorian Style, Japanese style and of course the Indian style ;). The desert style is really what goes Well in the Desert.
Desert style is about the Creepy Crawly metal art, terracotta SUN, Lizards, Silhouettes of Road runners and quails. Here in the desert people Love the cactus flowers, humming birds, Cowboy art.Well its all about the rustic style... The garden art I have bare minimum. A terracotta sun,
2 terracotta tortoises, One of which serves as a pot for Succulents. I find the garden art at Walgreens both affordable and beautiful.

If you grew up in India you would know Terracotta has a very special place in your life.
My grandmother used to have terracotta pots filled with water and stored away in a dark corner of the room . Beneath the pot was some sand that helped the pot stay in place with out wobbling and also help keep the drinking water cool.
Now that's a great and green Idea.

My mother used terracotta pots to set some yogurt. The pot absorbed the extra water in the yogurt and gave the yogurt a nice firm body. Most people in India even today use terracotta pottery for storing food , water and to grow plants.
