Get Creative With Garden Sculpture USA

By Anthony McDonald


The time has come for people to start spending hours outside again. Physical fitness in America is at an all-time low, and our children are showing the signs. Teaching young people to be creative by making our own garden sculpture USA is an excellent place to begin improving health and well being in ourselves and our children.

Anyone who buys a property with an old barn full of scrap metal has the perfect opportunity for a new hobby. An inexpensive welder can turn scrap metal into statuary in no time, and the noise is sure to provide hours of irritation for the neighbors. Metals hold up much better than ceramics, and can be moved with little or no risk to the piece being created.

These scrap metal creations are also an excellent way to display a collection of antiques. Old rakes and sling blades can be turned into a variety of animals, insects, or other fun, eye-catching gadgets that the neighbors might enjoy. Anyone can buy a sun catcher from a local high volume store, but such overpriced gadgets tell very little of the talents of those who live within.

Art should always be a family affair, and a love of creation starts at home. Parents who encourage their children to be creative, and display their creativity, raise children who never lose a sense of the magic of life. Those who do not question the quality or value of their creative pursuits grow to have a greater overall sense of their place in the world.

Anyone who has found a piece of artwork created by another gardener decades ago, and left to be found by them, will keep that piece in a special place in the yard. These are gifts from an old garden, and it fills one with a sense of intrigue to find such a thing. A gift from one gardener to another can bridge a time gap that is measured in generations.

Our society becomes more and more immersed in life indoors with no sunlight or exercise. Yards become forgotten places, and many are viewed as more of a burden requiring effort than a place to enjoy spending time with friends and family. A yard full of colorful surprises attracts others with imaginative minds.

In fact, many might regard boring yards as meaning boring people live there, and often they are right. Our yards, like our cars and our homes, should be a testament to the people inside. Americans have gotten too used to staring at the talking box in the living room, and they have forgotten to show the world how special we are through our independent and creative nature.

In fact, more and more people have abandoned their television sets entirely. Families are outside growing food and flowers, cutting metal and stacking stone. At this point in our cultural decline, perhaps the television set can be turned into a sun catcher, and the old recliner can become overgrown with wildflowers in the yard.
