black garden statues

Hi
I'm looking into making a garden fountain for a new setup I'll be making, and I need a black basin. I was wondering if anyone would be selling any, or would know where I could find a good, cheap one. Preferably plastic, and I would really like it to be curved. Kind of in a U shape, because I want it to go around a small statue. It doesn't need to be huge, maybe a few feet wide(not including empty center, if curved), and a few feet long...it's no matter how deep it is, as long as it's good for a fountain.

Home Depot and Lowes both sell them in the garden department and they come in many sizes and shapes. Although most of the curved ones are kidney shaped, they fit around a statue beautifully because I did exactly that with one in my own yard.

It's not like there's a black market for them. So what do they do with them then? Is it that they get some satisfaction out of depriving their neighbors of small pleasures of only sentimental value? And if this has ever happened to you, did you get your property back? What would be a good way to go about trying to recover it?

I've had a few things go missing and I completely understand your anger.

Mostly bored teenagers, but I believe one thief was actually a landscaper who stole a Japanese bridge from my garden. Probably made money installing the bridge into one of his clients landscapes. With no proof, I've never gotten anything returned.

I've heard of people cementing in statues and planters, or chaining things like a bike. I've also heard of someone painting one side of a planter with glow-in-the-dark paint on the back side of a pot "stolen from 123 Adams Ave." She swears her pot was mysteriously returned one day.

I think about the only thing you could do now is file a police report and brush up on your Voodoo.

would cosider any type of bear statue for my garden,resin is lightest to transport,looking for new or secondhand.prefer bear standing on hind legs over four foot tall,have seen one in garden but owner was given it and had no idea of origin,will not sell either.many thanks.

A 'rampant bear' ie standing on hind legs, is the emblem of Warwickshire. I recently saw one on a visit to Warwick castle, in a charity shop, it was made of plastic or fibre glass, I'm no expert, it would be about 4' tall. The colour was dark brown. I thought it rather odd at the time, your question reminded me of this bear.

I have created a new area in my back yard and plan on putting a large Asian statue in the center of this area. I am working on an area behind where the statue will sit to plant bamboo in a controlled area. I am fixing a sort of tunnel and plan to put wisteria on it, to grow over the wire tunnel. I would like ideas on other plants to use in this area to enhance the statue and give an air or serenity. This will be a sort of *secret* garden, as you won't be able to see it all until you go through the tunnel.

I have thought about some peonies, and plan to use white gravel and have black enamel benches in it. I would like to use reds mostly, to give more impact to the overall effect.

I am in zone 6

Azaleas would be nice. For a low growing tree that has that Asian look is the Mimosa. Most Asian Garden don't have alot of flowers in them, they are mostly evergreens is interesting shapes. For your "RED" how about placing high glazed red pots filled with small evergreens that you shape into your own style of Bonzais.

embankment before snow

A zinc afternoon. The barges black,
And black the funnels of tugs nosing
Phlegm-colored waves slap slapping
Stone wharves. A smell os sacking
and soot. Grey chimneys, and statues
Grey with cold, and grey life belts.
Now the arthritic gulls,
Seedy with displeasure, crotchet on railings,
Falling with a fat splash on wet bread.
Green is under black in the gardens,
bearing the frozen face of Huskisson,
Statesman, but trees are black all throug.
The sun fumes behind mist which rises
To thicken this smoke, make dusk black.
The rive, eyed by launches, hangs its cranes
That grab nothing
But cold black air, aqueous and rotting.

For some reason it sounds like a smokers lung....

I think this poem is about seeing the inside of a smokers lung.

Maybe because of all the grey and black smoke but I'm pretty sure it has to do with a smoker and his/her lungs.

Its a beautiful poem...


Hope that helps!
