Topiary gardening involves training plants to grow into a specified shape by strategic pruning and the use of topiary forms. It works with virtually any shape one can imagine, and a wide variety of plants. Good topiary gardeners can use different plants to evoke the texture of fur or feathers, the patterns on spotted or striped animals, or a geometric mosaic. The end product is a piece of green art that, with regular watering and pruning, will last for a long time. Disney topiary for sale with some modifications is awesome to have.
Topiaries are far from a new idea. Even Julius Caesar and Pliny the Elder had topiary gardens. In Europe, greenery was often shaped into animals, obelisks, shapes, or letters. In China and Japan, more of an emphasis was placed on strategically trimming plants in order to make smaller, younger plants look like ancient trees. Zen gardens, on the other hand, often had topiaries trimmed into straight lines or large, curving shapes. In 1962, Walt Disney brought movable topiary forms into the American public eye-- he wanted a way to recreate his iconic characters in topiary form, eventually growing them into a kind of living sculpture.

His topiaries re-imagined popular Disney characters as living art sculptures of greenery.
Topiaries have been used for quite a long time. In fact, even Julius Caesar had a topiary garden. The types of forms that are popular vary from country to country. For example, in Western countries, topiaries are created from shapes that look like animals, geometric shapes, and even letters. Currently, elephant topiaries are very vogue. In Eastern countries like China and Japan, topiaries are very small and distinctive in their design.

To Galvanzied or Powder Coat the Metal with Outdoor Artificial Boxwoods Foliages or Sphagnum Moss?
The outdoor artificial boxwood foliages have a 5-8 year outdoor and 15 year indoor warranty before color fading and any other issues can occur or be apparent. We can only offer lifetime guarantee on galvanized frames and that is just for the frames.
Unpainted raw steel should last the duration of the outdoor artificial boxwood foliages for both outdoor and indoor environments. Paint/primer just adds additional protection from rust. This just makes the frames last even longer. No mater if painted, or galvanized, or powder coated, the frames would likely need some kind of touchup after the 5-8 years. If regular paint, then the metal would need a recoat. The best route is to galvanized the metal to ensure a lifetime use of the topiary.
Galvanized metal frames works great for all almost every application except live plants and fertilizers with direct contact against the metal. A shrub is fine since the frame is for shaping the leaves/trunk and not in direct contact with soil. Artificial moss is fine too with no planting. For a metal frame that will be in direct contact with the soil/moss for planting and fertilizers, Powdercoating is recommended over Galvanizing the metal
