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."

Love this little guy
This went in an area of our garden that is being set up as a little oasis with little kids in mind. Telling stories to the kids in that little area is what my husband had in mind. These little statues are perfect with their sweet, kind of cheeky, look.

Perfect Addition to a Garden
It's a great addition to a garden. Not too obtrusive and very sturdy. And very sweet and positive appearance.

Keep the Zen sculptures coming
We have the Zen llama, elephant, and turtle arrayed around our back yard. The frog was a perfect addition. They add a great sense of calm and whimsy to our time outside. Looking forward to see that the artist comes up with next!

FAQs
1. Can the Zen Frog statue be used outdoors in a garden or does it need to stay inside?
The Zen Frog statue is well-suited for outdoor garden use. It is solidly built, heavy, and made from durable materials that hold up in outdoor settings — buyers have placed it in flower beds, near ponds, on patios, and alongside potted plants. Some owners in colder climates choose to keep it indoors through winter and move it to their garden in spring to extend its life, but the weight and construction are designed to withstand the outdoors.
2. What does the Chinese writing on the Zen Frog statue mean?
The Chinese writing on the back of the Zen Frog statue translates to 'prosperity.' This meaningful detail makes it especially popular as a gift for people who appreciate symbolic or culturally inspired art, and it adds an extra layer of thoughtfulness when giving it to someone you wish well in life, health, or their garden.
3. Is the Zen Frog garden statue a good gift idea?
The Zen Frog statue is an excellent gift idea, especially for gardeners, frog lovers, nature enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates unique, artful décor. It has been gifted successfully for housewarmings, Christmas, and general occasions — even for people who are notoriously hard to shop for. Its combination of charm, craftsmanship, and the symbolic meaning of prosperity makes it a memorable and emotionally resonant present.
4. How big is the Zen Frog statue — is it large enough to be a focal point in a garden?
The Zen Frog statue is sized to serve as a noticeable focal point in a plant display, flower bed, or garden setting. Buyers describe it as matching their size expectations well — substantial enough to anchor a garden corner or sit prominently near steps, a pond, or between potted plants, while still fitting naturally into smaller garden spaces.
5. What is the Zen Frog statue made of and does it feel well-crafted?
The Zen Frog statue is made from a solid, heavy material that gives it excellent durability and a quality, well-crafted feel. Buyers consistently note its impressive weight and describe the construction as sturdy — it won't tip or shift easily outdoors. The craftsmanship is detailed and artistic, with a peaceful, expressive face that draws attention and brings a sense of calm wherever it's displayed.

What "Zen" is this frog portraying. I see the other statues described as wisdom, longevity, etc.

Can the Zen Frog be painted? Also, does this product come in a terra cotta material?
Verified reply from Marisa
These sculptures are protected with an industrial strength water repelling sealant to help keep them long lasting and durable. Because of this, some paints may not adhere. Some acrylic paints will work, but the product is made to repel, not absorb, so we cannot give a definitive answer. If you do find a suitable paint, we recommended that you re-seal it with a concrete sealant afterwards. The artist can make one without sealant, but it would need to be a special order.

i would like the SMALL size, like around 4-4.5 inches, was available last spring. Now seems to be just larger size.
Verified reply from Marisa
Thanks for your question. The size you want is still available but it's listed as "STANDARD" in the drop-down ordering menu, which we know is a little confusing - we apologize. It is 4.5" L x 5.5" W x 5.5" H.
