Rock Star

My oldest son made this statue for our front bed garden. I absolutely love it, and I love watching my kids get inspired to create things for and from nature. Statue Man will be our new garden guardian!

I’ve been working on our two-year garden update, now a few days overdue. It’s prompted some necessary clean-up around the yard. And all the plants we bought this last weekend have to go in the ground first, too. But I can’t wait to get it all done. Our garden has grown, and I can’t wait to show it off!

I invite you to check out my other post today at Beautiful Wildlife Garden — all about personalizing your haven by recreating what you enjoy out in a natural habitat.

  1. Meredith, I’ve been enjoying your posts on Beautiful Wildlife Garden!
    This statue is wonderful – I can just see Statue Man walking through your garden – kind of like Tin Man with those stiff joints 🙂

  2. That’s great! It’s in a shady spot, right? Maybe he can grow moss patterns on it now if so. It could be a like custom-made chia pet.

  3. When my sister and I were younger, we use to love creating things like this in our yard. Once, after a hurricane passed through and took down a few of our pine trees, my dad let us keep a bunch of the cut up tree sections in our backyard so that my sister and I could make “forts” and such. I’m sure there will be many more “rock star” like creations in your garden’s future.

  4. That’s a very cool statue for your garden. You have a creative son! Congrats on two years of progress in your garden too. It IS amazing to look back and see how far we’ve come, and blogging makes that easy.
