With a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern style, we're introducing geode style Garden and Plant Pot stakes to our line! Some assembly required. Each piece comes with a bracket on the back and a metal rod that slips into the bracket. Instructions for ground installation: 1. Push the metal rod/stake 6"- 8" into the ground. 2. Place the ceramic piece onto the end of the rod using the bracket attached to the back of the shape. Our items are waterproof but will not withstand multiple freeze/thaw cycles of a typical winter in colder climates. They should be brought indoors in the fall before freezing temperatures begin, and can be brought back outdoors in the spring after the last frost. Stake lengths come in 1.5 foot and 3 foot lengths. The snail measures approximately 7.5" x 4" inches. Each item is handmade and one of a kind. Variation is a normal part of the handmade process and should be expected. Does not contain actual geodes. snail fairy core cottage
