Topiary plaques are shaped to last

Think of it as instant landscaping: Ballard Designs Tole Topiary Plaques put a modern silhouette spin on the neoclassical grandeur of those manicured trees found in country estates. The hand-crafted, cypress-style tree in a classic English box container, shown here, $179.95, is just over 6 feet tall; its 4-foot double ball companion is $119.95. Both water-saving garden decorations install easily on interior and covered outdoor areas and are available in solid white or black with a rust-finish container.
