2007 GARDEN DECOR:

What the 2007 Garden Party is Wearing

This heavy cast iron patio furniture comes in different options of powder-coat finish: copperlite, white, gunmetal with gold accents or black. The set includes rubber glides to protect floor surfaces. The English Rose Cast Iron Bistro Table is the "perfect piece of outdoor furniture for entertaining". The cast iron bistro table, with its elegant styling and scroll detailing, is a great piece of outdoor furniture. It is sure to coordinate well with your existing patio furniture. It is available here at Home Decorators Collection. Because they purchase in volume, the set of cast iron patio furniture costs much less than you would expect to pay. Prices as of May 2007: English Rose Cast Iron Bistro Table $99, English Rose Cast Iron Bistro Settee (the bench) $129, English Rose Cast Iron Bistro Table $99, English Rose Cast Iron Bistro Chair $79.  The whole patio set, shown in the picture would be $386.

Little Details Make a Big Difference

No, I'm not talking about your standard pink flamingo, or garden gnome, but really darling and unique decorative items to place in your garden.  The little toadstools will tinkle in the wind (is it me, or does that sound funny?). Plus they are mighty cute!

Then, you can add an enchanted aura to your garden with Glowing Garden Art.  These decorative stakes absorb sunlight during the day and release it at night as a luminous glow. I put them along a garden path to mark the way.
