Audrie, those are so cute. My favorite is your frog, just love him.
My very favorite is the snake I have that Chris made. It is very real looking. He stays in my semp beds to deter birds and such.
He is after that pesky slug. Hurray!

I love those critters that Chris sculpts! She's such a talented artist, and her attention to detail just takes her work to a higher level... like that snake's eye, absolutely perfect down to the shape of the pupil (btw, that's one way to tell he's not a venomous snake even though I'm sure he scares the birds... pit vipers like rattlesnakes & such have slitted pupils).

I love my little garter snakes. They are all over right now. Tiny baby ones every where. One of their favorite foods is slugs.

Unfortunately we hardly have any snakes around here. I would love to have more.

You know, I don't know why I don't see more in my yard... maybe they just hide easily here... certainly I have good habitat for them here in our yard, but unfortunately I also have too many neighbors who would probably react violently if they saw one. I've got plenty of slugs to feed them this year!

Thank you Chris, Lynn & Jill! The frog is a cutie!!! I love his feet and bright coloring!! They are all awesome though!!

Lynn, love your snake going after the slug!! Thumbs up We have rattle snakes and bull snakes here so have to be careful. Sad I almost stepped on a bull snake stepping out my front door last week. It scared the living daylights out of me!! I screamed so loud I'm sure if my neighbors were close they would've jumped!! Rolling on the floor laughing

I'm sure I'll order more buddies as I get my planters done. Thanks again Chris!!!

Does Green Gabels look as fat and leggy as in the pictures I have seen? That would look soo cool in a wreath!

Green Gables does have nice fat fuzzy leaves. It stays green year round. I really like it.
