One of the coolest things about attending garden walks and
tours during the National Garden Festival in the Buffalo-Niagara area is
checking out the garden art: sculptures, metal art, pottery pieces, paintings,
even things you wouldn’t expect in a garden. We even have a Buffalo-Style
Garden Art Sale in the opening weeks of the Festival.
Here are a few of my favorite art pieces from this year’s
National Garden Festival (I visited gardens involved in five garden walks this
year):
Metal hummingbird –
I loooooooved this piece when I saw it – so much so that I looked for it at the
Glen Park Art Festival a few days later…now it’s mine!
Bowling ball totem
pole – yep, a bunch of bowling balls topped with a bunch of pins…our gardeners
are creative!
Colorful homes –
even the homes are pieces of art! Vibrant colors like these can be seem
throughout the area of Garden Walk Buffalo.
Fun signs – this one
was at the home of Art of Gardening blogger Jim Charlier.
Tree houses –
this tree house was awesome! The homeowners also had a number of cool garden
art pieces, like ants made from golf balls and a peacock of colorful bottles.
