Creating a Peaceful Atmosphere in Your Garden Using a St Francis Garden Statue

There are many reasons that people buy religious garden statues.  For some it is an expression of belief, for others it is to bring peace to their gardens and homes.  Of all the types available, having a St. Francis garden statue is one of the most popular choices.  St. Francis lived between 1182 to 1226 and is the patron saint of animals within the Catholic Church.

These statues usually show St. Francis either with animals gathered around his feet and birds sitting on his shoulders, or with him holding a large dish with which to feed the animals from.  A St. Francis garden statue will almost always show him in monks robes with a traditional monk's haircut (called a tonsure).  People enjoy these garden statues because they bring a sense of peace and tranquility to the garden.

These sculptures come in nearly every size  imaginable.  You can get them in sizes ranging from life size to just a foot tall.   The size you choose depends on the space you have available.

When you are thinking about what type of St. Francis sculpture to by consider what type of statement you want to make.  A smaller figure is more subtle, while a larger one will make a bigger impact.

A large cottage garden will look great with a Saint Francis garden statue that is holding a bowl full of bird seed.  This will create an outdoor sanctuary effect.  A formal garden on the other hand is well suited to a fountain featuring St. Francis.  A large fountain is a great centerpiece in a formal garden.

If your garden is smaller then a smaller statue will work the best.  Choose a St. Francis that is knee high or smaller and you will discover that he will be a great focal point and conversation starter.

Whatever type of size of garden sculptures you choose, use restraint in the amount that you buy.  Garden statues add beauty and interest to a garden, but a few go a long way.  

Choosing a St. Francis garden statue can bring years of peace and tranquility to your garden, and you will enjoy him for many years in the future.

It doesn't matter what type of style you choose for your outdoor garden statues Just be sure that they suit your style and budget. That way you can enjoy them for many years to come.
