Rich in history and big on style, the garden gazing globe have been used for centuries in gardens and pathways to reflect the world around it.
The reflective orb allows the whole garden, including the sky, to be viewed with one glance.
The gazing globe had practical purposes in a southern antebellum garden. Placed strategically by the path from the front gate, southerners could see from the veranda who was calling before the caller could see them, allowing plenty of time to prepare refreshments for their guest or to hide — whichever was fitting.
