Mirrored Spheres and Stones for the Garden

There's something about finding a shiny object in an unexpected place, and a mirrored sphere strategically nestled in flower beds and landscaping can add geometric interest while making the garden look more lush. They're also purported to ward off evil spirits in old folklore.

For a more natural look, these large pebble-shaped mirrored sculptures would look like pools of mercury among one's foliage. Pretty, without the toxic side effects.

Spheres, $18-$68
Stone Sculputres, $28-$48

IKEA has small mirrored stones for around $15 for 3...

I know someone who floats the spheres in her pool.

Growing up my mom always had mirror balls on stands randomly placed in the garden. I never really liked them tho... We used to call them 'space pods'

In the 90's my mom put bowling balls in our back yard. She got them cheap from yard sales.

Shop around too, for other prices on spheres:

Hate these. Don't understand why you'd want to have a glarey-stick-you-in-the-eye spot in a sunny garden. And they scare away birds, which I want in my garden.
