Gazing balls are a popular item for adding decorative interest in your garden or landscape. They originally were called witch balls in Europe and many people thought they were essential to keeping witches away. In Victorian times they graced many of the Victorian formal gardens.
How you display your gazing ball is up to you. There are a myriad of ways, but the most common way is to mount them on a stand. Gazing ball stands come in a variety of heights and designs. You can even design and make your own. Just be sure to match the height with the height of the surrounding plants. A tall stand will put the ball at a height with flowers or foliage. A short stand or stake will blend the ball in better with shorter plants. You can even find hangers to suspend your gazing globe.
Gazing balls on a unique stand can greatly increase the enjoyment of your outdoor space. A gazing ball stand makes a great gift for your gardening friend or that hard-to-buy for person in your life. It is something they can enjoy for a long time.
