IDEA #1: ENHANCING YOUR LANDSCAPE WITH LAWN DÉCOR
Outdoor garden décor is a cost-effective way to add personality to your landscape. It is an opportunity to make your garden unique and a reflection of you. Lawn décor allows for self-expression and it stays colorful and vibrant all year long! No matter if your garden is thriving or dormant, outside yard decorations will always add an artistic flair. At Calloway’s and Cornelius, we have a fabulous selection of unique garden décor for every style or mood.
Wind Spinners
If you are looking for large lawn decorations, try wind spinners. They add dimensional movement and the vibrant multi-colored panels come to life with every warm spring breeze. These visual masterpieces are available in mesmerizing blasts of color with heavy-duty construction. Our collection of wind spinners from Regal Art & Gift, have strong poles and ground stakes, thick metal blades, and weather and fade resistant paint.
For a floral pop, embrace the power of nature and try lawn décor with spinning flowers. This option from Evergreen® has metal embellishments with a vibrant design. It is made of powder-coated metal with a weather and rust-resistant finish, this wind spinner is designed for long-lasting enjoyment.
Decorative Garden Stakes
Add a decorative lawn ornament to your flowerbeds or container gardens with adorable garden stakes. Light up the night with a solar option with an Evergreen® Gardening Gnome Solar Garden Stake. The bright flowers in his hat will add a burst of color during the day and give a friendly glow at night.
Metal bird stakes are great for small-space gardens and they will add a touch of nature to your outdoor planters. The charming design and bright colors are ideal garden decorations outdoors and they can even be enjoyed indoors with your houseplants.
Metal Art & Sculptures
Decorative garden sculptures are another easy way to add harmony to your landscape. Create a bird paradise with lawn décor!

Go rustic with your outdoor garden décor and create the cutest cactus collection in your neighborhood! Our selection of metal cacti comes in a variety of sizes and shapes in soft green and pink hues. They are ideal for displaying on patios, in garden beds, or to fill an empty space in your yard.
IDEA #2: ACCESSORIZE WITH CONTAINER GARDENS
Container gardening is a quick and easy way to update your home. They are extremely versatile and can easily be moved around your landscape. Decorative planters or handmade pottery will spruce up all your outdoor spaces.
Turn your garden from drab to fab with your favorite flower pots in the empty areas of your landscape. With the simple addition of colorful pottery and vibrant blooms, you can create a stunning display in minutes. If you have problem areas with too much shade, adorn the space with colorful shade planters filled with foliage and flowers that thrive in those low light areas.
Go for a natural look and use terra cotta pottery. Experiment with a wide variety of clay-based ceramics to bring an authentic look to your outdoor spaces. Try a variety of shapes and sizes and mix in large plant pots for interest. Terra cotta accentuates the bold and bright colors of all your favorite spring plants.
For lightweight and durable quality, try plastic flower pots from Japi or Bloem®. These plant pots are an easy alternative to heavy ceramic pottery. They are weather-resistant and extremely stylish. The Bloem® Lucca Planter even features a self-watering attached tray with an easy access spot for convenient watering!
At Calloway’s and Cornelius, we have a vast selection of premium pottery available in a variety of styles, sizes, and colors to suit any area in your home and garden. Choose flower pots that will work for you and have fun being creative while planting your favorite spring blooms!
IDEA #3: CREATE A DISTINCTIVE LOOK WITH ANNUAL COLOR
One of the easiest ways to transform the look of your landscape is to plant annual color. The options are endless for all areas of your garden. Plant shade annuals under a shady tree for an extra pop of color or add sun-loving annual flowers to your sunny flowerbeds.
If your flowerbed is looking bare, try filling it with an abundance of blooms by using Senator iQ and Ambassador Begonias. They are one of the best begonias you will find with high impact flowers.
Start planting for warmer weather now and use the best annual flowers for the season. Cora® XDR Vinca is arriving now! It has striking, showy, star-shaped flowers that provide strong color from late spring through fall. Plus, they have extra-disease-resistance! Cora® XDR Vinca is low maintenance and provides a bold accent to gardens and containers.
Plant for color and welcome pollinators to your landscape with annual flowers like Zinnias! Zinnias produce daisy-like blooms from mid-spring through summer. They are heat and drought tolerant, making them a fine choice for sunny landscapes. Bees and Butterflies are attracted to the colorful blooms and the bright yellow centers.
