"The Garden Smile has evolved over the years into our signature piece. As I walk around our village of Waterville, this botanical face is displayed on walls, fences, decks, entry ways, trellises, and not only on tree trunks, but way up in trees as sort of a nature spirit peering out from the branches. While creating this sculpture my goal was to capture the best of nature and mankind in a peaceful organic format. Customers send them all around the country as gifts to gardeners, or simply something peaceful and serene to hang indoors. While on vacation, I saw the Garden Smile plaque displayed on a building in a tiny fishing town on the coast of England. I guess it became our signature piece because wherever it's displayed, the warm winking smile makes everyone feel welcomed." - George Carruth

I purchased several of your sculptures many years ago and I still have them hanging inside and outside. I also bought several of them as gifts. They are lovely. I have a magnificent garden and would not put anything in my garden that didn’t look great. I have recently purchased three more as gifts because my daughter-in-law said how much she admired them. Expensive look at a reasonable price.
I know why the garden smile is your best seller, he’s gorgeous!
I absolutely love his smile and charm. I placed him by my front door as a warm welcoming!
yes it was bought for gift. we already have one . me Brother in law loves it on display in this summer Michigan home Thanks
It was gifted to a friend. She loved it. I plan to order more for Christmas gifts and one for. Your service and delivery were excellent.
My plaque arrived in excellent condition…it was all that I wanted…I plan to order another in the near future.
Love it. Going in my greenhouse.
He is charming and I am thrilled! Thank you
I gave the plaque as a gift, so I'm hoping the recipient loved it as much as I love mine
I love him he's hangingin my courtyard.
Wonderful workmanship and perfect addition to the garden!
This is the second plaque I've ordered, and I'm ordering a third. The faces are so expressive. The plaques are heavy and well made. Each came securely packaged and in perfect condition. The faces are so fun and expressive. I enjoy looking at them throughout the day
Perfect happy guy! Wish I could buy them all!
He arrived at a great time and it is the perfect birthday gift for my brother. Now if only Spring would arrive soon!
Thank you for making such a great gift!
I don’t like the stain added. I have others that have no stain and the picture on your web site does not show it either.
Hello Debra,
Several years ago, George Carruth determined a stain would enhance the detail of the sculptures so he and the artisans developed a staining process. Each stone is stained by hand and potentially by different artisans which makes each piece unique. It's been many years since any stones were made without the stain and sounds as though your Carruth collection is somewhat rare. If you intend to place the Garden Smile outdoors, his color might lighten with time (or darken) depending on the climate.
Didn’t tell my husband I was ordering it. Took out of the box and he said “that’s cool!” Hung it on our tree and he said “order another one!”
It came packaged very securely.
Fun item - we love the way it looks
