Landscape Ideas: Glass in the Garden
Glorious Glass in the Garden
The Art of Hans Godo Frabel
4/1/2010- 1/10/2011
I just love this mask and the many other beautiful pieces in this collection. Gardening does not have to be solely about the plants you put in them. Glass, stone, iron and other materials bring life and interest to a garden. Don’t be afraid to incorporate items that are not traditionally found in the garden. Use that rusty iron fence section as a trellis, use a reclaimed door as your entry gate and please do not be afraid of adding glass into your outdoor landscape.
Glass can do a few things when you incorporate it into your garden. It can reflect light, add color, glisten or sparkle, and depending on what items you choose–it can change the feel of your garden. Hans Godo Frabel has created fantastic pieces that are now housed at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. From large structures to small reptiles his talent for blowing glass will blow you away. Although most of his master pieces are out of most of our budgets it can be replicated in terms of color, feel, and subject matter. Pull some inspiration from the Atlanta Botanical Gardens and Hans Frabels fantastic glass sculptures to add glass in your garden–now that’s an original landscape idea.
