You can learn a lot about a person from their room, apartment, or home, as it reveals a great deal about their character, preferences, and whether they keep tidy and clean or prefer organized chaos instead. Luckily, not everyone is exposed to such information, and that lets us keep it on a more personal level. But when it comes to an outdoor area, we are not as closed off, which provides an opportunity for a wide range of possibilities of self-expression. Some like to keep it simple, some enjoy a Pinterest-worthy look, and some go out of their way to make it as weird as possible.

So if you are known as a funny/creative neighbor on the block, we might have some interesting ideas for you. This Instagram page is dedicated to sharing some of the weirdest finds on the internet consisting of garden decor. The designs range from clever to lazy to mostly borderline ugly. Now, we leave it up to you to decide whether these decisions give you the creeps or inspire you to introduce a new addition to your garden.

To learn more about garden design, Bored Panda reached out to a multi-award-winning garden designer and horticultural expert, Lee Burkhill, also known as Garden Ninja, who kindly answered all of our questions. You will find the full interview below.

    Topiary

    Topiary

    Topiary is the horticultural practice of training plants by clipping the foliage to develop clearly defined shapes. The reason for doing this is unknown. The word derives from the Latin word for a creator of topia or "places". Topiary shapes tend to be based on animals, abstract shapes and human body parts.
    Topiary seeding is the commonly observed phenomenon. Whereby entire neighbourhoods become infested with topiaries, which seem to jump over the fence

    This is not shít. This is heartwarming and sad. These may have been left by the grave occupant's children or grandchildren. (I thought a child's grave at first, but there are two entries on the plaque, but only one is filled out, which usually implies a married couple who want to be buried together, where one has died but the other is still alive.)
