Using Concrete to Create Garden Decor

Janice Opie of St. Catharine's, Ontario uses concrete to create beautiful garden decor. Initially, she grows rhubarb leaves and subsequently casts them into tables, waterfalls, and hanging fence decor. The decorations are then painted afterwards.

The very fine veins of the leaves show up after the concrete has cured affording beautiful, colored detail when painted. Because of their durability, they are a unique item for outdoor environments being able to withstand rain or wind.
