Treasure Trove
2 of 7

One of a Find Creations is your one-stop lawn ornament superstore. But be careful about using derogatory terms such as lawn ornaments around the store’s co-owner and concrete connoisseur, Bill. “They’re concrete treasures, not lawn ornaments,” Bill says. “I like to call it concrete art.”

And Bill has every right to call it concrete art. He makes and sells over 900 items, and 80 new treasures are set to debut this summer. The most popular item? The classic garden gnome, of course. The store is open year-round, minus the month of June—during which time the owners attend a national lawn ornament convention where they buy molds and learn about current industry trends.
