Flags of all different sizes, shapes and designs can be found in gardens and yards all across the world. Adding garden flags to your landscaping in different areas and in different styles and shapes can draw the attention to different parts of the yard and add a lovely touch of color and design.
The most common types of garden flags are those that are designed to fit on a stand. These are often rectangular in shape and are slipped over the flag hanger and allowed to hang down, moving slightly in the breeze. These can be very simple and elegant or highly stylized to create a real artistic flair in the landscaping.
Movement
The amount of movement that you can expect from your garden flags will depend largely on the heaviness of the flag as well as the specific location that you choose. Often up beside the home or against a larger surface such as a garage, arbor or trellis will eliminate or minimize movement.
If you are displaying name types of flags, or family and address garden flags, you may want to consider minimal movement so that the design of the flag is always easily visible. You can also choose a stand that is designed to hold the flag securely and minimize any movement at all.
Monogram Garden Flags
Very popular options for any time of the year are monogram flags. These can be seasonal in design and also feature the first letter of the last name, or the entire last name. To be an authentic monogram flag you would typically just use the family name initial, but you have the option to be as creative as you would like.
Great examples could include a pumpkin or a scarecrow figure with the family monogram in the middle for the fall or a beautiful display of spring flowers with a darker colored monogram for the spring and Easter.
You can be as creative as you want with your garden flags to either celebrate the seasons or just provide a great look to your landscaping. They are also ideal at the front steps or an area in the front of the home to add that decorative touch and even give the family name of the residents.
