This place is simply adorable. We found it on the side of the road and decided to stop by. The statues and iron works were very cute! They had pretty much anything you’d ever want to decorate your backyard. Everybody was very friendly except for the pair of turkeys that kept following us around lol.

What a beautiful, unique, and unexpected spot! There's so much to see and so many unique gifts and garden accessories for sale. Definitely worth a trip!!

If you're looking for garden ornaments, you'll want to experience Metals and Nature. Themed areas are whimsical and inspiring. We enjoyed the variety of peacocks, turkeys, ducks and cats strolling the grounds, as well as the caged budgies, parrots, doves- even a friendly pig and rabbit live together amicably here. So much fun to stroll around, and we came home with a few pretties for our outdoor space. We recommend a stop! By the way, our leashed dog was welcome here, too.

A must see unique place. Most original beautiful location of nature and metal working. We have visited many times and never disappointed. Owners are awesome people.

Beautiful hidden gem! I’m a cat lover, so of course I loved the kitties. I was wondering if the cats are stray or have an owner? I wanted to feed them, but assumed the owner was a worker. There are also peacocks! The statues are beautiful, might go back and purchase one!

Its really beautiful diffrent, statues, plants, items theres alot to look at. They have peacocks, doves, chickens a pet pig... its nice if you have time to stop by and walk around (its free) but you can also buy items

Alot of concrete yard decoration and they also make things out of metal. This is a very unique place its like a park you just walk around and they have live birds they have a turtle pond. The owner is so nice and the place was passed on down from his father alot of history hear.

This is my go to spot for ornamental and decorative wrought iron in the Tampa area. Decorative wrought iron fences, ornamental iron gates, decorative ironworks, Buddha garden statues, St Francis garden statues, arches, arbors and Talavera pottery!

This place was the perfect spot for my three year old’s tea party. The grounds are filled with gorgeous plants, birds, statues, and more. There was a cute scavenger hunt for the littles to do. The picnic area and gazebo added whimsical and magical touch. It is a great spot for a picnic, shower, birthday party, or a simple reading nook. It was hotter than fish grease today. However, the trees provided a lot of shade and the fans cooled it down a lot. The owners are absolutely amazing! They were so hospitable and welcoming. They even provided the girls with peacock feathers. It is definitely a hidden gem and a must see! We will definitely be back!💙

Arley and Vicky at Metals and Nature created a beautiful custom sized gate for our home based on their "fiddlehead" design. It turned out fantastic, and we are thrilled with the results. It was such a joy for us finding artisans who hand craft beautiful high quality ironwork. Arley walked us through the installation and supplied all of the hardware we needed to complete the job. Visit their property and delight in their creations. It's a great experience, even if you don't have an immediate requirement. When you see what they create, you'll figure out a place around your house that would become extraordinary with a Metals and Nature creation! Jim D., Punta Gorda, FL

LOVE this place...... An oasis of serenity in a busy world! Metals and Nature create beautiful works of art in metal, which can be in the form of gates, trellis', and adornments all in metal. The talent is amazing and I am sure they can create anything anyone desires. In addition to the amazing metal work, beautiful peacocks stroll the property, which is actually a couple of acres. Plan on a trip to Metals and Nature soon, you won't regret it!

Hidden gem in Plant City. If you're looking for garden statues, metal art work, or custom iron fences or other custom metal work, this is the place. Or if you need a nature break. You can just walk around the property and look at the plants, flowers, white peacock, thousand or so statues and ponds. Statues are grouped by animals types, mermaids, any many more. Very reasonable prices and the statue quality is very very good.

I showed up with detailed drawings to make a trellis for my rose bush. Ironically they had just created one exactly what I needed and it was beyond perfect!!!

My favorite place for lawn art and bird baths! Also love wandering among the plants, enjoying the birds and visiting Oinky. Great prices and Mary is very helpful. Looking forward to going back soon.

Peaceful. The iron work is stunning, the grounds are relaxing.

A short hop over to Plant City for a fun afternoon out of the house. All the handcrafted items by artist Diego Smude are displayed in situ on this two acre site, so you can find inspiration as to how to add some charm to your garden or patio. The nature is not all rooted in the ground though, as you may cross paths with a wandering peacock, visit the pig, or chat with the (caged) chickens and parrots. (Or in my case get a giant grasshopper tangled in your hair, evidently as payback for an indelicate photo I had taken earlier. See below.) Don’t be intimidated by price! There is something for absolutely everyone and you’ll be surprised at just how affordable most things are. The larger custom iron work pieces are a bit pricey but much of the wall art and ceramics are in the $15-$40 range, you can pick up a succulent in an artsy pot for $10 and they even have a large section of random mix and match left over wrought iron decorative pieces arranged in bins for as low as >$1-$10. I say absolutely everyone because when I stopped by they even had some old used pots for planting they were giving away for free.

enjoyable walk through the garden, so much to see. reasonable prices for the art and plants they’re selling!

This is a really cool place to walk around. Check out the merchandise and the animals!!
