Collection: Unusual Garden Ornaments UK

Choose by where it will stand: an animal for a border, patio or step, or a character piece by the door to greet visitors. Each one is made in our Lake District workshop.

Unusual garden ornaments with character

Choose from animal figures, character sculptures and a sculptural mushroom planter. This collection brings together decorative designs made in Cumbria for gardens, patios, sheltered corners and indoor displays, depending on the piece.

Choosing a garden statue or garden sculpture

Start with the spot: the view from a seat, a border or a sheltered corner. Compare the piece's dimensions with the available space and the surfaces around it. For garden ornaments in the UK, changing weather makes product-specific material, finish and care guidance especially useful; outdoor suitability varies by piece.
