Garden Ornaments in Gloucester

Choosing garden ornaments for Gloucester starts with the local weather, not the catalogue. Gloucester's Severn Vale setting brings mist, damp and a mild winter. The planting at Westbury Court Garden changes with the season; the stone and metal in it mostly does not. That is the point of a good ornament.

What lasts in Gloucester gardens

• A long season, and a long season for moss. Mild winters mean the garden is worth looking at in January, and that solar pieces still light. It also means moss never really stops, so plan on a rinse each spring.
• Green film is the local nuisance. In a wet climate algae is the thing that ages an ornament, not frost. Smooth resin and glazed finishes wipe clean in seconds; deeply textured stone holds the green and needs a brush.

Everything we sell is picked to stay outdoors all year across South West England, in stone-effect resin, cast stone, powder-coated metal, treated timber and weatherproof solar. If a piece cannot take a British winter, it does not go in the range.
