Topiary Art Designs Garden Sculptures

Your overgrown garden has been the subject of gossip all summer long.

Time to shape up.

Topiary artist Steve Manning will help you bring new life to your outdoor patch with his whimsical sculptures. Choose from letters, numbers, fairies, animals, insects (giant ant, anyone?), angelic-looking children and life-size adults playing sports — or work with Manning to design something totally unique. Each statue starts with a stainless steel frame (complete with a lifetime guarantee) and can be made to grow box, yew or any other plant that takes shape.

The not-particularly-green-fingered can go for low-maintenance willow or a sculpture made from replica plant — which looks real but requires no watering or trimming.

Sounds like shear bliss.
