Proud as a Peacock- Peaceful Patio Landscape

by Ivylore

Last summer I built a small patio at the back of my flower garden near my patio swing. It was nice and simple, but it needed something to make it a place where I would like to sit and enjoy my garden. I decided that it would be the perfect space to create a peaceful peacock garden. I gathered all of the peacocks that I had collected over the years (as well as a couple of new ones that I found and purchased this year) and created a charming, secret peacock garden. Take a look.

view of the patio from the rain drums- patio is to the left behind the cone flowers (which should be blooming soon!) (If you'd like to see more of the patio we built, please take a look at my post http://www.hometalk.com/diy/outdoor/patios/patio-designs-small-space-4192339)

these peacock stakes are to the left of the patio

almost look real!

this is a new treasure I found this year- a beautiful peacock dangler (with bells)

close up of the peacock dangler- it's hung on a shepherd's hook along with one of my birdhouses

this peacock stake in back is about 5ft. tall- I placed it in front of this bare garage wall to give it some interest

this poor little peacock stake lost its legs (I've had it so long they rusted off :( So, I set it in front of a bushy plant and it looks like it is nesting there.
