The idea of decorating our gardens with things like birdbaths, glass dragonfly’s, and ceramic caterpillars had been around for a while now. You see a lot of typical store bought garden decor that is less than impressive, and if we are being completely honest, boring.
Now, the last thing you need is for your garden to be boring and outdated! A garden should be fresh and full of life! Which is why we have put together this list of creative painted rock designs for your garden art arsenal.
