Gift Gorilla Garden Ornaments

The smaller gift pieces in the range

Chilla the Gorilla Ornament is the playful entry point: a smaller knuckle-walking ape on a porch step or beside a planted tub, light enough to wrap and post. The Gorilla eating Banana Stone Garden Statue is the other playful piece, modelled with a cheeky pose and finished in a soft mid-grey cast stone that weathers into garden tones over a season or two. The Sitting Gorilla Ornament and the Relaxing Gorilla Ornament Set both group on a patio table or a low wall, the Relaxing Set shipping as a coordinated pair for buyers who want a ready-made grouping rather than building one piece by piece.

The family groups and the statement pieces

The Gorilla & Gorilla w/Cub is a mother-and-cub group at a friendlier scale than the life-size piece, suiting a shaded shrub corner. The Gorilla w/Baby Ornament is the smaller cast figure with a similar pose. At the upper end, the Bronze Finish Guardian Gorilla wears a weathered-bronze paint on cast resin (the look of bronze without the weight or theft worry), the Silver Back Male Ape Statue anchors the range in reconstituted cast stone with a noble face, and the Life-Size Gorilla Statue gives a statement gift a four-foot presence at the end of a driveway. The Jungle Bundle pairs an elephant set with a gorilla set as a coordinated multi-piece gift.

Picking by garden and by recipient

A small terrace or a balcony suits the shelf-scale pieces: Chilla, the Gorilla eating Banana, the Sitting Gorilla, the Gorilla w/Baby. A patio with a flagstone edge takes the Relaxing Set or the Gorilla & Gorilla w/Cub. A planted lawn or a gravel-path garden carries the Guardian Gorilla or the Silver Back Male Ape. A driveway or the far corner of a generous lawn earns the Life-Size piece. For animal lovers who already have a few ornaments, the Jungle Bundle adds the elephant set in one go.

Finish, care and what arrives in the box

Cast resin pieces (Chilla, the Guardian, the Relaxing Set, the family groups) are UV-stabilised and frost-proof, made for several seasons outdoors. The cast-stone pieces (Silver Back Male Ape, Gorilla eating Banana) are bound with anti-crack chemicals and weather into a soft lichen patina over two or three winters. Most owners come to prefer the patina to the freshly-cast finish. All pieces ship packed in recyclable materials from our Cotswolds workshop. A soft brush and warm water once or twice a year keeps pollen out of the face detail; skip the power wash on painted finishes.
