Accent your garden space

From the practical to the whimsical, a birdbath can be a great addition to your home garden. Whether you prefer the aesthetic design of the bath itself, or you enjoy watching the birds frolic and splash, these accents are a great addition to your outdoor space.

I remember when I was a child of about 8 or so, my grandmother purchased a painted concrete birdbath and placed it in her backyard, between two fruit trees. It was always entertaining to watch the birds bathing, hopping around and tossing water.

Due to the casting process, these can range in style from very simple to quite fancy, and are usually either left plain or are painted in an array of colors.

Whichever material you decide upon, please do ensure that the bath actually fulfills its function, and has a concave basin which can hold at least several inches of water.

    I am going to set up a homemade birdbath this weekend. If the bird comes and bathe I will be ecstatic. It will be a hit and miss case. Thanks for sharing this lens.
