If You Don’t Have This For Your Garden, You Are Not Cool!

“He had a choice – he could vanish from Earth into Nirvana and become absorbed by the universe, or he could stay to teach others how to achieve enlightenment. He was doubtful that his insight and state of consciousness could be taught, but in the end he decided to stay and teach.”
– The story of the Buddha
Let the meditating animals statue series bring a little Nirvana to your home or garden. These eight unique animal statues come in styles to suit any animal lover’s dream.
Each piece has a Chinese character etched into its back relating to the respective animal. Take for example the meditating cat with its Independence etching. Telling a cat what to do is not really a productive process: Felines pretty much do what they want. The meditating squirrel is imbued with the etching for cleverness, appropriate seeing as they always manage to get into the birdfeeder no matter what you do to stop them!
Finally a squirrel that won’t wreak havoc on your yard, in fact it’s quite the opposite. Have a pond, but feel as though it’s missing something? The meditating frog will be right at home at the edge of the water, surrounded by lily pads and cattails.
Every statue is available in four colors (antique, classic, old stone, and Sedona) so they can complement any existing garden décor or match your mantelpiece. Trends in statues come and go, but these wonderful stone pieces are no plastic flamingoes.
The meditating animals are high quality art pieces that will stand the test of time, socially and physically. Trust us; we know a great deal about cool garden things!
Choose your favorite and before you know it you’ll be starting a collection of these totally cool garden things. Meditating animals are avaliable and shipping now from coolgardenthings.com

A museum is full of amazing paintings. The visitors are so interested they pay the owners so they have a chance to experience the visually interesting collection. They are very similar to gardens. A personal garden is your own living museum. You hope for that moment that stops your neighbor in their tracks to observe the design and quality of your garden. There are many aspects that make a garden unique and eye-catching. There are many items you need to acquire before your garden can achieve that next level.
We at Cool Garden Things sell amazingly unique and historically interesting Head Planters. The Medusa Head Planter caught my attention from the beginning. According to Greek Mythology, staring directly at Medusa would turn you to stone. While as legend will have you thinking that the Medusa will turn you to stone, this head planter will only have the effect of stopping your neighbors from ignoring your living museum. The great hero Perseus beheaded Medusa with the help of Athena and Hermes according the Greek Mythology. Perseus wielded a mirrored shield, allowing him to locate the monster without gazing into her eyes. He was able to slay this monster without turning to stone.
The head of Medusa was also used in many Gorgoneions. Pendants were created with the image of the Gorgoneions. Gorgoneions were depictions of Medusa or her sisters and were believed to avert evil. The Medusa head, with her snake hair, shows up in art, philosophy, and even contemporary popular culture.
To have an item such as this in your personal garden would spark instant interest. Create opportunities to speak about your knowledge of Greek Mythology with this historically important Head Planter. The amazing Greek legend is yours with this product. Add this Head Planter to your garden and put it in a new context.
Medusa is the best at catching anyone’s attention. Make your garden a place where people cannot look away.
