Gazing balls are decorative garden ornaments, typically made of glass or metal, that reflect their surroundings. They are often spherical in shape and come in various colors and sizes. Commonly placed on pedestals or within flower beds, they add visual interest to outdoor spaces. These ornaments have a long history, dating back to the Victorian era when they were used to enhance gardens. Gazing balls are sometimes associated with feng shui, as they are believed to attract positive energy and promote tranquility in the environment.
