How About These Lawn Ornaments?

Lawn Ornaments at Green Thumb Nursery

 

We went to our favorite nursery, Green Thumb Nursery in San Marcos, for some plants for the garden today.

 

Pink flowers at Green Thumb nursery

 

We have been buying flowers here, and pots, for many years and I always marvel at how much this nursery has to offer (flowers, bushes, groundcovers, trees, pots and planters, fountains, garden decor and ornaments) and how large it is. It just goes on and on and on.

I couldn't resist snapping photos of some of the plants, but in particular these larger-than-life lawn ornaments. I'm not sure the garden gnome (taller than me) was really for sale, but the chicken was...priced at only $2,300 dollars.  The orange and red dragon-like creature was intriguing but I had a hard time imagining it in a garden, but you never know.

 

The rusted double bed frame (bottom photo) was being used as a planter for a patchwork of seedums - very cool looking.

Morning Jeff.

Well I'm sure someone will buy those, just not me.  Now, talk about the flowers, and my wife will be all over it

I like that big ole orange dragon, Jeff!  If it were in my yard, I'd plant those California Poppies at its feet.

Hi Dorie Dillard 

It's a great place to just wander, and enjoy the beauty. I am not a fan of lawn ornaments but they were fun to take photos of! And there were plenty of others.

Hi James Dray 

Those ornaments may be there for a while. The array of flowers, plants and trees is mighty impressive - something for everyone!

That would be striking, wouldn't it Myrl Jeffcoat ?

We were there on a particular mission so only spent about 30 minutes, but yes, you could spend hours, especially if you have a big yard Sharon Lee

Thanks Gita Bantwal  I agree for the most part about lawn ornaments - art work in a garden works for me.

It's a beautiful place to wander even if you aren't buying Amanda S. Davidson  but with such beautiful flowers and other things it's hard NOT to buy.

Oh my, love the photos and that dragon - just WOW! Now, that is never something that I would put in my yard, Jeff but, it is an interesting conversation piece, I'm sure!

Love the checkerboard design - what a cool thing to do in a small space.

Happy Monday!
