Ugly gardens,tacky garden art and garden "fails"

[thomas pendrake]

A really juvenile bachelor pad patio would be a good place for panty planters. Some women might enjoy the humor on their patio. Obviously, there is a market for them. I can imagine far more tacky body parts planters.

I want to reply in quotes on the carved tree but can't figure it out. Can someone walk me through that sometime? What I was trying to say was I don't care for the 'Casper' cartoon look of the tree. I don't always care that much for cutesy. I would prefer it to be a little more natural looking.

Most of these are hilarious but I wouldn't want them in my yard...or somewhere I would have to look at them every day such as my neighbors yard.

This moss chair looks kind of cute, but I'm horrified because it's a plaid upholstered chair so there must be all kinds of nasty mold and pathogens lurking in the stuffing of the chair.
This would be a win if it was a solid chair, but it's a fail because someone let nature take over a piece of upholstered furniture so it's probably swarming with disease.

ACSAPA, I couldn't agree more. This moss chair looks adorable and I love furniture like this, but I wouldn't want to sit on it. I'd be scared of mold. Not to mention nasty creatures that like living in places like this

How do you feel about this decoration?:

I think some decoration can be cute, but some people go way overboard with too much.

 

[claudine]

I agree. Usually, less is better. I think I could have a small fountain or a bird feeder in my garden, it would be enough for me. I don't understand people who buy hundreds of sculptures, gnomes, weird flower pots and other decorative items. It just doesn't look good.

That picture of the carved three! I think that I will dream of that, and those dreams will be nightmares. I always see recycled garden decorations on Pinterest. I wonder why they look so beautiful, but when people actually try them, they fail horribly.

I rather like this, especially if it shows up in a blighted area. Sometimes the 'city ain't so pretty.' In my area the smurfs and other characters would have to be permanently fixed or the wind would take them away. I wouldn't particularly want it in my yard though.

There's too much stuff. The eagle and the Disney statues don't match. Maybe if it was just the Smurfs it would look like a collection instead of a yard sale.

Not to my taste (claudine's picture above), but I think it is a good collection and I congratulate the owner,

I don't like it either Those statues are so tacky! I hate garden gnomes more than garden worms
They're hideous:

I don't like that collection either, but I don't mind tacky decorations in moderations. I quite like the gnome on the left but I wouldn't want a garden with a whole collection of them.

One or two tacky decorations aren't that bad. Some garden statues look really funny and eccentric. I don't want them in my garden, but I kind of like seeing them in other places. My neighbor has a stone Greek goddess in his yard

I like the garden statues of Greek goddesses and angels that Design Toscano sells in their catalog. I don't mind tasteful gray statues because they blend into the garden.
