GAZING BALLS

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GAZING BALL

The absolutely most incredible of all gazing balls garden statues that I have ever seen was in the Butchart Gardens on Victoria Island, British Columbia, Canada. We wandered all around this incredible garden discovering featured garden statues and artwork that began as the passion of one woman, Jennie Butchart, who refurbished the black pit that was created when her husband, a successful cement manufacturer, exhausted the limestone quarry in the hillsides of Victoria Island. Mrs. Butchart kept herself busy gardening and improving the grounds of their home and business. There are gardens of all kinds with garden statues galore now in the fabulous Butchart Gardens where millions of tourists visit annually. You'll find shade gardens filled with camelias, gardenias, ferns, hydrangeas and the sun filled rose gardens that will blow you away with their variety and fragrance. And there at the entrance of the huge, circular rose garden is a bench to rest on and a giant gazing ball that reflects the glory of the gardens surrounding it. Sitting and looking at the perspective of the gardens as reflected in the gazing ball is a transporting experience. Gazing balls are an incredible way to multiply the beauty in your garden and are available on stand alone pedestals or incorporated into the sculpture of garden statues.

Gazing balls as art are found in many garden decor shops and websites. One particularly lovely gazing ball is held by one of many angel garden statues that gives you a sense that she is reflecting love and safety into your garden. She is found at: http://GAZINGBALLS.totalwarehouse.com
