Woodstock Chimes Adds Statuary to Garden Offerings

Woodstock Chimes, a worldwide leader in the manufacture of precision-tuned wind chimes and premium musical gifts, has added a collection of Granite Garden Sculptures to its offering of garden decor products. Like the company’s popular Granite Fountains, the new sculptures utilize a unique process that combines real granite stone with reinforced fiberglass. The result is a beautiful, natural look with a lightweight, durable construction. Each sculpture is available in small and medium sizes, ranging in retail price from $60 to $180.

The Woodstock Garden Thai Buddha sculptures are designed with incredible detail and simplistic beauty. Their graceful appearance will create an oasis of serenity in any garden. Similarly, Woodstock Chimes’ sculpture of Buddha Maitreya, also known as the laughing Buddha, will bring peace and happiness to its surroundings.

The Woodstock Garden Fish and Woodstock Garden Frog statues appear whimsical and playful, but have additional significance based on Asian interpretations of their names. In Japanese, the word “frog” and “return” are pronounced the same, so the frog has a long tradition as a Japanese good luck charm. It’s said that frogs will ensure good fortunes, such as money, and that friends will return to you. Likewise, the Chinese word for “fish” can be translated to mean “abundance,” and fish are believed to have a long courtship. A pair of fish in the garden signifies a home with love and happiness in abundance.
