If one were to depend on flowers alone to adorn a garden that would indeed be a tough order. There are times when gardens look bare and that is the time one wished there was something to enliven the garden. Artifacts do just that.
There is no limit to adding artifacts in a garden
1. There are decorative pots that one could put on stands and have some greenery around to hide the stands
2. There are countless terracotta statues available, of birds and animals. One could place them at different spots.
3. A water cascade will add sophistication
4. Lotus is one flower that blooms throughout the year. A pond with fish and a few lotus plants could be one such idea
5. Decorative garden benches placed anywhere for a good view may be of the road adjacent also could come under the category of artifacts.
6. Lights are an integral part of any garden. There are decorative water proof lifts available.
7. Decorative garden paths is yet another idea to add glamour to a garden. Gravel or pebbles could be used.
8. A birdbath under a shady tree will attract birds and at the same time add decor to a garden.
9. A meandering lawn can just uplift a drab garden
10. There are colourful crotons that are easy to maintain that can bring life to a garden that is devoid of life.
11 When it comes to greenery there is no limit to the type of palms and ferns that could be picked up from any nursery. These are perennial and need least maintenance
With all these ideas implemented a garden would be worth looking at any time in the year even if there are no flowers blooming there. It is not easy to see that there are flowers throughout the year as that involves time and money.
The image above picked up from Wikimedia commons shows how just a lawn could be an interesting idea.

Exhibiting something in a grand and beautiful manner is an Art. The artifacts add beauty to the garden and they are also easy to maintain. Therefore, in many gardens, we are seeing artifacts. We are also seeing benches beautifully decorated and designed. But the maintenance aspect should never be neglected. Proper maintenance and cleanliness of the artifacts are very important. AT the same time the visitor should feel responsibility and should make every effort to keep the garden clean and beautiful.
Nice first of all I like the lawns in that picture that look really nice. I do agree with you that you don't need gardens alone to bring out the good of your garden. I like the tips that you have listed above. The lights are a good way of creating a beautiful garden. I have seen many people embracing the idea of having a long in the garden and a small waterfall and that makes the whole place look bright and relaxing.this are some really good ideas when I buy my own house someday I will probably take some of these ideas with me.
I hope you will soon get an opportunity to maintain a garden.
@sivasubrahmanyam shatdarsanam It is understood if maintenance is missing then there should be no garden at all.
This is about Garden artifacts I talked about. Garden will always be there.The artifacts enrich the beauty of the garden which I am talking about Pls.
Most gardeners will make time to take care of those artifacts.
Yes. Nowadays people are taking interest in the maintenance of Gardens which was not so earlier. There is a change in the outlook of the people also. This is what we may call development at the roots. This is adding to the economy of Artifacts manufacturers and other Artists. These people were totally devoid of their share in the development. Now they are getting some work to make a decent life.
Last week I was going on my bike and happened to see some flower pots which was very richly decorated giving a painting work . I immediately purchased two flower pots. They occupied the place at the entrance of my house. I used them for my rose plants.
Another Article I purchased was a wall piece. It was not painted. I purchased it and painted beautiful colors for making it an attractive wall piece.
Do you purchase Artifacts to decorate you house?
Countless idea to make a beautiful garden in the front and back yard of our home.I love gardening and that include the flowering plants, ornamental and even the vegetable that can look so great when done and manage in creative way.
With your ideas to pick, I think we can always make a beautiful and attractive view of our house. Not to mention the budget because we can always innovate and find ways to make it better even when we have small budget.
