Wow, what year is it? Oh that’s right it’s 2008 and yet I kid you not there is a lady that lives down the street from me who’s garden is ripe with those little garden gnomes! I know what your thinking let her be, it’s her house her garden she can decorate it the way she wants. Which is all well and true but it just got me thinking that there has to be cooler, newer garden decor to fill your lawn with now a days. Right?

Answer: YES

Take for example this awesome Buddha Garden Statue from Exterior Accents!

This beautiful Buddha in Lotus Position garden statue is created in the time honored cold cast method mixing resin with bronze, marble, granite and other quality materials. Durable, yet one third the weight of concrete allowing for easy mobility, each sculpture is completely weather resistant and will add years of visual pleasure to your garden.

Price - was $349.95 on sale $319.95 (click on image or link to shop)

If Buddha statues are completely not your style how about this “Flowers for Felicity Garden Statue” from Design Toscano!

We bet you love flowers as much as Felicity does! Balancing two faux woven baskets hanging from metal chains and ready for your favorite posies, this lovingly crafted sculpture boasts rich details, from the buttons proudly popping off her overalls to her bouncy, beribboned pigtails.

Personally I am a little bit scared of all statues or frozen forms of children. I think I watched too many horror movies in my youth. But Felicity is cute! Well until she comes alive at night and runs giggling through your hallways! Ha, I am kidding. If you can picture her in your garden she costs $75 dollars.

Call me kooky but I like this Lady Goldfish Pond Spitter!

It reminds me of Flounder from the Little Mermaid movie, plus garden statues and lawn art should be affordable and durable. Which this little goldfish is, it’s a beautifully sculpted spitter featuring a female goldfish resting atop a rock-like base.

This statue is crafted from a resilient resin blend for a construction that will last through many seasons.

The best part is my little fishy only costs $21.99

OK so I realize that the Mother Duck and Ducklings figurines might appear a tad cliche to some, but I happen to think that they are adorable!

I happen to prefer the flesh and blood versions myself but if you don’t see yourself housing a family of ducks, why not purchase the frozen statuesque variety?

These Outdoor Duck Figurines possess all the charm of the weathered stone originals without the hefty pricetag! Constructed from a blend of resin, styrene, and fiberglass, the lighweight material makes the statues easy to maneuver.

The noble aged, black finish make it indistinguishable from the stone variety and each duck comes with a stake to securely place them along your lawn.

was $89.00 now $30.00 (you save $59.00)

Well hopefully I have given you ample options to the lonely 2 foot gnome currently residing in your front lawn. If I can’t convince you to retire “the garden gnome” then at the very least make an attempt to find him modern and classy company.
