Hiding Hippo Lawn Ornaments

Mart's Art Animal Garden Decoration Brings the Zoo to the Yard

— March 3, 2013 — Art & Design
These safari animal garden decoration pieces are quite cheeky, peeking their heads up out of the grass as though hiding from anyone who walks past.

While they appear to be sunk deep into the grassy earth, these wild lawn ornaments actually only consist of the top half of the animals, making them lighter than full sculptures would be. Place a chunky hippo in the flower beds and watch it hide under the leaves, keep a shark on guard near the vegetable garden and have an alligator prowling the grass near the water sprinkler with these mischievous critter decorations.

Children will be especially thrilled by the zoo theme in your yard if you use these cute safari animal garden decoration pieces.
