While you're enjoying playing games in the garden, give a thought to decorating your outside space. There are lots of fun and interesting things you can do without spending tons of money...
When designing your garden consider adding solar garden lights all throughout or if you prefer in one spot. You can make a path using stepping stones and place solar garden lights guiding this path into the night. What a wonderful way to enjoy the night and your garden at the same time. Solar garden lights also make great centerpieces in any garden or yard. If you have a flower patch or small garden, place a solar light wind spinner or solar powered wind chime on a hook stand in the middle of the flowers or plants. This will allow a shimmering glow to cast over the flowers and plants for all to see and enjoy.Using your porch to display a range of lawn ornaments is a great idea, especially for people who live in 4-season areas. Wind chime and wind spinner lawn ornaments make perfect d�cor items for eye-level viewing. Planter stands have the capabilities to display an assortment of lawn ornaments and even books for readers. Garden statues and large garden planters are great lawn ornaments for the floor level. These ideas should set up your porch atmosphere nicely.For eye to floor level d�cor, planter stands are great for displaying all sorts of lawn ornaments, garden planters and even your favorite books. Your porch is a great place to display planter stands and garden planters full of flowers or green plants. They are protected from harsh weather such as rain, wind and snow, so it�s much easier to maintain. Other lawn ornaments you can display on your planter stands include garden gnomes, fairy statues, and even wind chimes and wind spinners can be hung from some planter stands. Use planter stands to display collection items such as decorative bird houses or themed lawn ornaments such as frogs or butterflies.4. Fake Flowers - Well, hey, we don't all have mature gardens and fresh flowers blooming all year round! If you have to resort to a little 'deception' who cares if it looks good? Hang some pretty silk flowers on a wall, or low roof or even in a tree! If nothing else, you'll keep your visitors guessing :-)Dress up any boring space outside with solar garden lights and see how much it adds to your outdoors. Your mailbox could use a nice makeover, right? Plant a hook stand next it and hang a solar light wind spinner there. Or, put a solar light lamp or garden statue at the bottom of the post. Solar light wind chimes look wonderful hanging near the door in the porch. Solar garden lights also make great gifts for somebody special. Have a birthday coming up or Mother�s day? Solar garden lights will brighten up anybody�s day when they see how it affects their outdoors by improving the look and curb appeal to their house or garden.6. Cut down on Big Toys - Children's outdoor toys, such as swings, slides etc; can take up loads of room in the garden, and they're not always very attractive. Look for something a little less permanent. Maybe separate items you can load away in the shed at night, or go for something completely different and build a giant chess set. Or if you really feel creative, what about a tree-house? They can always go to the park for the swings!7. Containers - Collect large pots and grow plants you can move around the garden, every day if you like! Grow herbs and flowers and position sweet smelling plants on the patio or round your seating area. Strawberries grow very well in containers as do other useful plants. Make sure the pots aren't too heavy for you to move, or invest in a garden trolley if they are. If you grow colour co-ordinated flowers, a wonderful display can be created by positioning your pots well.Starting with your eye level or above, lawn ornaments such as wind spinners and wind chimes offer a great welcoming feel to any outdoor and indoor space. These kinds of lawn ornaments entertain while adding a pleasant sound or view to look at. They are a great conversation starter and look beautiful wherever they are. Wind chime lawn ornaments come in all different kinds and sizes. You can even make great centerpieces for your table using lawn ornaments. Some good suggestions for where to place your wind chimes would be near a doorway. Wind spinner lawn ornaments are usually seen hanging from a hook stand in your yard. However, there are ways you can hang these beautiful lawn ornaments from the ceiling of your porch for display. A corner spot is usually the best for wind spinners so they catch as much of the breeze that comes in from the windows as possible. Make sure your wind spinners are fanned out properly to get the most spinning action.These are just a few ideas. Let your imagination free and decorate your outside space with love.

No, I don't mean let them loose with a tin of paint and brushes... what they could do is draw some great pictures of trees, flowers, animals etc, and you can pin them around the patio area or 'blu-tak' them to a tree or two. Remember to rescue them if it rains!Solar garden lights benefit not only the garden or homeowner by improving curb appeal and appearance. It also benefits visitors who stop by at night. Solar garden lights light up the yard, walkway, porch or garden without putting others at risk of tripping over cords. They are very kid-friendly as well.
