The Statue

The name does not deceive.
They have statues.
I love places like this. It’s almost like strolling through a sanitized graveyard. Lots of funky looking statues and monuments but no graves.
Yeah, they sure do have statues. Lots of animals, lugubrious religious images, melancholy monks, atrabilious angels with spreading wings, naked ladies and of course the ubiquitous gargoyles are all represented. They even had one statue that looked like Godzilla or some variety of Mesozoic therapod. That would look pretty cool in somebody’s garden.
They also have huge fountains, pools, birdbaths, sundials and various garden ornaments. The different pieces are just piled and dumped anywhere and you have to navigate your way through the yard. It’s a causal place to say the least. I’m not even sure where you are suppose to park, I drove into the yard and almost ran over little frog statue that was sitting in the driveway.
As far as I can tell there is no inside store and everything is out in the yard. When we drove in nobody was around but after ringing a bell this fellow came out of a shed. He was covered in white powder and was carrying a funny looking saw. Hmmm, I wonder what the hell he was doing in there. He was distantly polite but certainly not verbose. I asked him a price on a sundial and he said he wasn’t sure. He just stared at me and I stared at him for a while. I finally asked if he could find out. He went back into his snowy shed and returned a few minutes later with a cloud of white powder following him. He said since the sundial was slightly chipped he could take off a few bucks. Good deal, we now have another sundial for our garden.
Not the place to go in you want to be pampered. You’re pretty much on your own. But a great place to look at and possible find some unique and different items for your yard or garden. Yeah, I love places like this.
