Read about garden angel statues
You may find that a more contemporary piece makes the perfect foil for a traditional garden design for example. Don't disregard the whimsical approach either. For a vegetable garden for instance, animal outdoor garden statues provide just the right combination of charm and novelty. Here's a closing thought: you don't always have to place your statues in a way that they will attract maximum immediate attention. While your initial instincts may lead you to place your statues at the front and center of your yard, they may actually be more effective when placed in a more subtle location, such as nestled among the shrubs.
