As Michael and Alisa Gentilucci were relaxing in their garden, surrounded by planters and accents and imagining their future together, the seed of a new idea took root. A year later, they launched a business. "We began making molds in our garage and soon realized we were onto something," says Michael. They purchased a property with a dilapidated Victorian cabin and unfinished warehouse, transforming it into their garden shop, studio, and home. Michael designs expressive, inspirational garden art and collaborates with local artists to sculpt it. "Customers smile while holding our art," he says, "and tell us stories about who they plan to give it to."

Great Gift!
I gifted this to my uncle, who is notoriously hard to find gifts for. He loved it, and it's already in his garden! Would suggest this for those hard to gift people, those who love to garden or generally have an outdoor space they spend time in. #Sweepstakes

Quality product
I wasn't sure what to expect while purchasing one of these sculptures, however it came well packaged and undamaged and the product itself was well made and sturdy. My grandfather loved it!

So very cute!
Bought this as a gift for a friend. It's a little larger than a square tissue box and not super heavy. I think she will love this in her garden...she's always seeking some zen!

I just started my zodiac collection! I'm obsessed!
So I first bought my zodiac sign (Tiger) and I loved the quality and attention to detail of the tiger that I bought another zodiac sign (Boar) for my mom. I just need to finish off the collection by buying all twelve!

One garden figure finely detailed(rooster), the other blobby
Obvious hand details were added to my first order, second one rough- just out of the form. I got these for inside house. Very disappointed in second one, no enhancement on cape, hooves, face like the first order

The perfect gift!
I love this item. I got it as a gift for several people and finally decided I needed one for myself. I ended up getting one for everyone in the family. They look so cute in the garden!

FAQs
1. Can Chinese zodiac garden sculptures be used indoors as well as outdoors?
Yes, Chinese zodiac garden sculptures work beautifully both indoors and outdoors. While many people display them in gardens, near front steps, or in raised garden beds, others choose to keep them inside on tables, in zen garden displays, or as part of home décor. The sculptures are versatile enough to feel at home in either setting, and their detailed, polished craftsmanship makes them a natural conversation piece wherever they're placed.
2. How big is a Chinese zodiac garden sculpture?
A Chinese zodiac garden sculpture is roughly the size of a square tissue box — compact enough to place on a tabletop, shelf, or garden ledge without being overpowering. The sculptures are not super heavy, making them easy to reposition between indoor and outdoor spaces as the seasons change.
3. Do Chinese zodiac garden sculptures hold up well outdoors in the sun?
Chinese zodiac garden sculptures are designed to withstand outdoor conditions and do not fade in the sun, making them a durable choice for garden display. Some owners do choose to store them during winter months as an extra precaution, but the sculptures are well-made and sturdy enough for year-round outdoor use in most climates.
4. Is a Chinese zodiac sculpture a good personalized gift idea?
A Chinese zodiac sculpture is an excellent personalized gift idea because it reflects the recipient's birth year sign, making it feel thoughtful and unique. It works well for birthdays, Mother's Day, weddings, and even as a meaningful memorial tribute. Many gift-givers find that recipients love the sculptures so much that they end up buying additional zodiac signs for other family members or friends — and often one for themselves.
5. Are Chinese zodiac garden sculptures detailed and well-crafted?
Chinese zodiac garden sculptures are notably well-crafted, with polished, clear details that feel artisan-made rather than mass-produced. Each sculpture features its zodiac animal along with a Zen word and meaning, adding an extra layer of intentionality to the design. The attention to detail is a standout feature that makes these sculptures feel like genuine pieces of art rather than standard garden décor.

Is the larger size available for the tiger
Verified reply from Amy
Hello! All of these animals listed have the same approximate measurements (4.5" L x 5.5" W x 5.5" H). Other sculptures by this maker, such as the Zen Dog or Cat, are offered in two sizes. However, if they are on this exact product page list, they are just offered in the one size.
