Winnekta, IL Residence (B)

Garden art, such as this classically inspired garden statue, adds interest to the order and organization of a formal estate garden. The garden statue becomes the focal point of the many linear views created by hardscape walls, bluestone patios, grassy walkways and boxwood hedges. In more formal settings, garden statues enhance the personality of the landscape. In this case, the garden statue is well suited to the elegance and scale of the home and plantings, as well as the homeowners' personal style. Garden statues, as well as fountains and other outdoor decor, can elevate the landscape to something truly personal and unique. Photo by Linda Oyama Bryan.
