Garden Decorations and Inch Worms

The inchworm may have a nasty reputation as a voracious garden herbivore, but when it comes to garden decor, its charm can bring a smile.
  1. Stakes and Statues

    • An inchworm would be a nice surprise along this pathway.

      Colorful inchworm statues insert fun as they play peek from behind garden lanterns. Stakes made from metal and cut into an inchworm shape are especially welcoming near an entrance.

    Inchworm Dude Ranch

    • Gnomes will likely be barred from the exclusive Inchworm Dude Ranch.

      An inchworm habitat in miniature, the dude ranch, is best constructed in a container or redwood barrel. Low-growing plants made to look like a mini-orchard, directional signs and a juicy, red apple made into a house are all that the inchworm will need to feel at home.

    Inchworm Theme

    • Inchworm decor would add extra charm to these stepping stones.

      Whether its stepping stones, garden tools or plant markers, an inchworm theme adds a cohesive, yet festive element to the garden. The inchworm inspires a bit of fun and frivolity. Pathways delineated with inchworm markers, either on mosaic-decorated stepping stones or as 'greeters' make it fun for children and visitors. Signs, such as "Inchworm Crossing" or "Slow, Inchworms at Play," provide a whimsical addition to your yard.
