Guest Post: 10 Nerdy Garden Decorations You Need Right Now

Posted by Alex Dunbar on 23rd Feb 2018

One of the best parts about being a geek is celebrating your interests. Whenever possible, we want the world to know where our geek allegiances lie. That’s why you’re bound to find an item on this list that’s perfect for your backyard. Whether you’re into Star Wars, Super Mario, or just love to have a zombie nearby for no explicable reason, with the right lawn decor, you can turn your property into an expression of who you are and what you love. If that sounds good, you might want an item like...

10. Stormtrooper Adirondack Deck Chair

Storm Troopers are so hot right now. Lounge in the official adirondack of the galactic empire and grab this giant-helmet chair. Leave it to the creative Jedi over at Esty for pieces like this. Star Wars fans have never been shy about expressing their undying Jedi love. This chair proves it.

9. Tardis Bird Feeder

The perfect item for Dr. Who-loving birds in your neighborhood. This epic Tardis bird feeder adds that special whovian touch to your yard. Hang it near your window and daydream about Cardinals surfing dimensions and busting troublesome monsters across time. Just be glad we didn’t include the Weeping Angles on this list.

8. Baby Groot Flower Pot

When you bleed geek, even simple possessions like your flower pots can be fun and unique. Modeled after the image of Baby Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, this flower pot is the ideal way to show off your favorite flower while also celebrating one of your favorite new flicks. Even though it’s technically an outdoor decoration, you could also bring it inside and use it to store pens or pencils.

7. Triceratops Statue

Behold. The first item in your grand scheme to turn your entire yard into Jurassic Park. This puppy is Jurassic-sized, at that.

Sure, this is the kind of item you’d be more likely to find at a theme park, but screw it. If you’ve got the cash, installing this beast on the lawn is the best way to let everyone know how you have a budding Dr. John Hammond in your soul.

6. Solar Zombie

Up from the depths…. To wreak havoc on your rhododendrons. This fantastic zombie statue serves not only as a deterrent to little kids trampling through your property, but also provides a nice little solar lamp/lantern. Your yard has never been so creatively illuminated. Thanks Mr. Zombie.

5. Sasquatch Statue

Looking for an elemental garden protector you can count on? If Swamp Thing is not available, Bigfoot is your best runner up. The imposing figure, made from crushed stone resin, stares down trespassers with the menacing glance of an irate Sasquatch. This thing comes in life-size proportions, as well... that’s a big-ass statue!

4. Super Mario Garden Decorations

Start building your 8-bit garden with these Super Mario pieces. These decorations are enough to make that classic theme song get stuck in your head every damn time you walk outside. Once you’re done setting up 8-bit fireflowers and chained Chomps, start switching out your kitchen plumbing for a set of warp pipes. It’ll work, trust me!

3. Game of Gnomes

It’s not too tough to find your perfect Garden gnome avatar anymore. There’s so many to choose from. Always a killer garden staple, every backyard needs at least one little Gnome to guard the bushes. But which one?

Enter, game of gnomes. This little dude sits atop the iron-shovel throne. As protector of the rosebush, he rules “Gardenos”, the seven bird baths, and the grassy realm, If you know nothing, this will be the perfect gnome for your property.

2. Enter Key Welcome Mat

OG-IT nerds can welcome guests into their home with this mat designed to look like a classic QWERTY Enter key. Rather than framing your old floppy disks or turning your macintosh into an aquarium, plop this bad boy onto the front porch. Show off your computer love with this quirky QWERTY piece.

1. Darth Vader Grill/Flamepit

With this unique grill/flamepit, you can toss your meats inside Darth’s head, close the helmet and crank it up hotter than a summer morning on Tatooine. Flames pour out like the funeral pyre of Anakin Skywalker in Return of the Jedi. To be honest there’s more of a resemblance to Rick Moranis’s Dark Helmet in Spaceballs… which actually make this piece a lot more enticing if you ask me!

What’s that sound? As if millions of fans suddenly got out their credit cards.
