Garden Creations, part of the Hamac Garden portfolio from Hamac Trading, has expanded with a big wave of themed collections. Every piece is a hand-painted, lifelike resin animal or gnome, suitable for indoor and outdoor use, collectable, and individually wrapped. Retailers get more than 30 new ways to build a display, so here’s our guided tour.

Collections That Tell a Story

Forest Friends is a 12-piece collection that brings the woodland to your shelves. As a full set, it makes a ready made centrepiece display, and customers who love one character will want to complete the family.

Gardening Animals is a 10-piece collection of animals getting their paws dirty. It’s an obvious fit for garden centres, where the theme connects directly to what shoppers are there to do.

The Book Nook features animals reading, a gentle, bookish idea that appeals to gift buyers and works as well on an indoor shelf as in a garden corner.

Down at the Farm and Country Characters build on the farmyard and rural themes that have always sold well. The Highland Cow family has been a standout, and Highland & Co now gives it a collection of its own, with names like Fergus, Harley Moo and Thistledown.

Gnomes, Fantasy and Folklore

Gnomes remain a garden staple, and there are now several ways to stock them. Gnome Posse is a friendly crew built for collecting, and Gnome Life shows gnomes going about their day. Together they give shoppers a reason to build a whole group rather than buy a lone figure.

For customers who want a little magic, Fantasy, Fantasy & Folklore and Enchanted Hollow add fairy tale charm that suits small garden corners, ponds and shady planting. Dino Dudes brings prehistoric fun for families and younger customers, and Creative Crew adds quirky, imaginative figures to round out the mix.

Pieces That Work at Every Height

Branch Buddies are hanging animals designed to perch from branches and brackets, ideal for small spaces and for retailers who want to use vertical display areas.

Swing & Sway Squad has animals relaxing in hammocks and swings, a playful, laid-back look for summer displays and patios.

Head Gallery presents animal heads for wall display, giving customers a characterful alternative to framed prints for fences, sheds and garden walls.

Welcome Animals greet visitors at the front door or garden gate, a practical and charming gift choice.

Nature’s Cast of Characters

The natural-world collections cover every corner of the animal kingdom:

Woodland and Feathered Friends continue the owls, foxes, badgers, hedgehogs and birds that wildlife lovers adore.

Wise Wings focuses on the owl, a symbol of wisdom and a perennial gift favourite.

Hopscotch is the rabbit collection, bringing one of the garden’s most popular animals together in one place.

The Aviary gathers birds into one collection, while Dapper Flock puts birds in costume for customers who love a bit of humour.

Exotic Animals and Wild Wonders cover the more adventurous side of the animal kingdom, with showstoppers like lions and chimps.

Scales & Tails brings reptiles, amphibians and other creatures that rarely get attention in garden décor.

Shell Squad is the tortoise collection, slow-moving, endearing and popular with all ages.

Polar Pals brings an Arctic theme, a good option for the festive and winter seasons.

For Pet Lovers and Design Fans

Distinguished Dogs and Whisker Wonders speak directly to the pet-lover market. Owners enjoy buying for their own household or for a friend who adores theirs, and a smart hound or sleek cat looks equally at home on a windowsill.

Wildwood Noir takes the range in a more refined direction. These bronzed animals have a darker, metallic look that suits modern gardens and customers who find brightly painted figures too cheerful.

Animal Artistry offers stylised animals, an artistic take on familiar creatures for design-led shoppers who treat the garden as an extension of the home.

Light, Humour and the Seaside

Solar Companions adds a glow after dark without wiring or batteries, a useful option for customers who want their garden to shine into the evening.

Surfside is the beach-themed range, perfect for seaside retailers, holiday displays and anyone who wants a coastal feel in the garden.

Trios: Hear No, See No, Speak No gives the “three wise monkeys” idea a garden makeover. Sold as a set, trios like this are natural conversation starters.

Why Collections Matter for Retailers

Selling by collection changes how customers shop. Instead of choosing a single figure, they start thinking in terms of sets, scenes and themes.

There’s a collection for every taste. From the cheerful Hopscotch rabbits to the sophisticated Wildwood Noir, the range covers traditional, playful, artistic and atmospheric tastes. That lets a single supplier serve a wide range of shoppers.

Easier merchandising. A themed collection tells you how to build a display. Group Forest Friends together, hang Branch Buddies above, and a scene is ready.

Higher basket value. When customers can complete a set, they tend to buy more than one piece.

Gifting made simple. Themes like The Book Nook, Distinguished Dogs and Welcome Animals match recipients’ interests, and individually wrapped pieces are ready to present.

Year-round relevance. Because pieces suit indoor and outdoor use, many collections can keep selling when the gardening season slows.

Mixed formats. Floor-standing, hanging and wall-mounted options let retailers fit the range into spaces of any size.

Clear themes mean easier merchandising. Naming collections around a character type or mood, whether that’s dogs, cats, owls or rabbits, makes it simple for staff to build displays and for customers to find what they love.

Collectability encourages repeat visits. Customers who start with one owl or one tortoise are likely to return to complete a set.
