10 Favorite Garden Elements to Welcome Spring

As the garden awakens with the arrival of spring, our outdoor spaces become a canvas for the season’s beauty and renewal ahead. Thoughtfully chosen garden elements have the power to transform outdoor spaces, creating focal points and inviting moments of quiet enjoyment.

From timeless fountains to classical statuary and decorative garden elements, take a look at our 10 favorite garden elements to welcome the season and elevate your outdoor living spaces this year!

1. Classical Tiered Fountain

The Classical Tiered Fountain is one of our most elegant fountain designs. Topped with a pineapple finial, a timeless symbol of hospitality, this piece features gracefully scalloped bowls that create a cascading waterfall effect. Available in two or three-tier designs, it pairs beautifully with a ground-level pool, offering both visual interest and space for seating or flower beds with seasonal plantings. 

2. La Brezza

Our beloved La Brezza statue is also known as “The Good Fairy” and represents grace, innocence, and sunshine. The sculptor, Josephine Kern, was commissioned to design this charming figure in 1916 by Mrs. Jessie McCutcheon Raleigh, the owner of a toy company in post World War Chicago. With an inviting presence, this figure is a great focal point either as a fountain or as a standalone statuary, and it’s one of our customers’ favorite pieces for gardens of all sizes across the country. 

3. Chaise Lounges

For poolside living, there’s nothing better than a spot to lounge in the sunshine! Our Chaise Lounges are generously sized in length and width with an adjustable back for premium comfort. As part of our Florentine Classics collection of fine outdoor furniture, each piece can be fully customized with any of our paint finishes, cushions, or design motifs. We are also able to accommodate wheels at the head of the chaise for easy maneuvering. 

4. Four Frogs Fountain

Our Four Frogs Fountain is a charming birdbath that offers courtyards or gardens the opportunity to incorporate a water feature in a smaller setting. Birdbaths are a natural way to attract birds to your garden while adding a classic design element to your backyard oasis. The Four Frogs Fountain features whimsical frogs that sit along the edge of the basin spouting into the center of the bowl above, creating a dimensional piece for your garden.

5. 1939 World's Fair Bench

The iconic 1939 World's Fair Bench, also know as the Central Park Bench, has become not only a favorite bench design for parks and municipalities, but also for homeowners looking to add seating to their personal landscapes. Many clients who have deep connections to their time spent in New York City love to bring a piece of Central Park home with them or gift is as a way to commemorate a wedding, anniversary, or other milestones. We are also able to add a custom plaque for any special occasions. We are proud to continue producing this famous bench style and have shipped theses benches to individuals all over the world!

6. Classic Armillary Sundial

The most popular sundial design in our collection is the beloved Classic Armillary Sundial. This piece brings sculptural beauty and symbolism to the garden with its finely detailed zodiac motifs. Handcrafted in bronze with a rich patina and offered in three sizes, each piece may be customized to suit its setting or personalized with a dedication plaque - an heirloom designed to endure for generations.

 

7. Large Crane Fountain

The Large Crane is one of our most dynamic pieces, with the figure set in mid-motion as water gracefully spouts from its beak. The lead crane has a large wingspan of 44 inches that can be piped as a fountain piece surrounded by a custom basin, as pictured here. When incorporated as a fountain, we suggest placing the crane on top of a cast stone base to create a stately focal point.

8. Star and Dolphin Arm Chair

The ​​Star and Dolphin Arm Chair is a favorite design in our Florentine Classics collection, admired for its beautiful detailing and classical craftsmanship. The arm chair can be customized to match a variety of table styles and sizes, and personalized with a selection of unique chair backs and arm styles. As with all our chairs, settees, and sofas, we work with Sunbrella and Perennials Fabrics to source the perfect cushion colors, designs, and styles to complete your design vision.

9. Urn with Lead Handles

Our urns come in a variety of unique designs and sizes, making them a versatile addition to gardens and outdoor spaces of all styles. One of our most stately pieces is the Urn with Lead Handles, one of our largest and most decorative urns with beautiful classical detailing. This natural cast stone piece can be placed on ground level or on a pedestal as a focal point, and can be used as a planter or stand-alone garden focal point throughout every season.

10. Custom Lead Cistern

Cisterns are decorative pieces that provide the functionality of capturing rainwater for the garden. Our team has worked with a number of landscape architects, designers, and homeowners throughout the years to design custom cisterns for our clients. With many beautifully detailed molds in our workshop, our team is able to combine our unique borders, rosettes, and finials for a beautiful custom cistern that serves as both a focal point and an eco-friendly element in the garden.
