Find the Perfect Gazing Ball

Gazing balls — also known as garden or yard globes, fairy globes, and witch globes — are spheres with a reflective surface that accentuates the colors of your garden, yard or patio.


Frequently Asked Questions


Q: What’s the purpose of a gazing ball?

A: The purpose of a gazing ball is to decorate a garden, yard or patio by reflecting light and amplifying the colors of their surroundings to bring a whimsical element to any outdoor space. Like an interior mirror, it can also make a space look larger.


Q: Do gazing balls reflect sunlight?

A: Most gazing balls are reflective, so they mirror sunlight and anything else — such as plants and flowers — in their vicinity. Some gazing balls, however, are made of blown glass or other materials that aren’t as reflective. Instead, these gazing balls serve as colorful pieces of art in the garden. Another type, the solar gazing ball, puts on a show at night. It performs double duty by shimmering in the light of day and complementing outdoor lighting at night, using solar light.


Q: Where’s the best place to put a gazing ball?

A: The location of the gazing ball will depend on what you want to reflect. If you want to accentuate flowers in your garden or enliven your backyard pond, place the gazing ball on the ground next to them or on a stand beside them. To amplify open space, hang them from a tree, pole or eave. Consider the weather when choosing the best location. If you experience windy weather where you live, you may prefer the security of keeping your gazing ball on the ground, instead of resting it on a gazing ball stand or hanging it up.
