Welcome to Modern Agriculture!
HomeGoods always has a solid garden and outdoor section in spring, but this year it feels bigger than usual. We stopped in this week and found everything from pollinator houses and birdbaths to full patio dining sets, plus a lot of fun stuff in between. The garden section is right inside the entrance, so you can’t miss it.
We narrowed it down to 21 finds worth sharing. Prices range from under $10 to $699 for a complete dining set. Here’s what we found.
Starting with one of the most garden-friendly (and budget-friendly) finds on the list. This wooden bee and insect hotel from Better Gardens has bamboo tubes on one side and slotted wood on the other, providing nesting spots for solitary bees and other beneficial pollinators.
If you’re trying to attract more pollinators to your flower beds and vegetable garden, these little hotels really work. Hang it on a fence, a tree trunk, or the side of a garden shed. At $9.95, it’s practically an impulse buy.

Another under-$10 gem. This tabletop birdbath has a teal glaze interior with a cream speckled exterior and a sweet little ceramic bird perched on the rim.
It’s small enough for a porch railing or a garden wall shelf, and the teal color is lovely. It would also make a really nice gift for the gardener in your life. Sometimes the simplest pieces are the best ones.

If you have any kind of water feature in your garden, you need to see these. They’re solar-powered pink lotus flowers that float on water and glow at night.
The set comes with two, and they look incredibly realistic during the day. At night, they turn into little floating lanterns. $12.99 for the pair, and they’d work in a pond, pool, fountain, or even a large ceramic birdbath.
Bright, cheerful, and perfect for early spring when the actual butterflies haven’t shown up yet. These metal garden stakes have painted butterflies in blue, pink, and yellow alongside daisies and sunflowers. Tuck them into a flower bed, container garden, or along a walkway for instant color.
This one pulls double duty in the best way possible.
During the day, it’s a functional bird feeder with a beautiful mosaic crackle glass cylinder in blues, greens, and coppers. At night, the solar-powered glass lights up, turning it into a garden lantern.
The terra cotta-colored base ties everything together. It’s genuinely one of the most unique garden pieces we’ve seen at HomeGoods in a while, and at $24.99 it won’t break the bank.
If you prefer a more traditional look for your bird feeding station, Audubon’s cedar ranch feeder is a quality choice. The design includes wire suet cage holders on each side, a generous tray, and solid construction.
The unfinished cedar will naturally weather to a silvery gray over the seasons, which actually looks better as it ages. The Audubon name means the design was made with the birds in mind, not just the aesthetics. $34.99 for a feeder that should last years.
The bright cobalt blue on this feeder really catches your eye from across the aisle. It’s a metal cylinder with an intricate rose-pattern cutout, hung from a chain with landing platforms on top and bottom.
Even when it’s empty, the cutout design makes it look like garden art. Would pop beautifully against a green hedge or wooden fence.

There’s something about a frog sitting cross-legged in a meditation pose that just makes people smile. This stone-finish garden statue would tuck perfectly next to a shady hosta, along a garden path, or beside a water feature. The stone-gray color means it’ll blend right into the landscape. We couldn’t spot a price tag on this one.
Geraniums are one of those classic porch and window box flowers that everyone loves, and this faux version is surprisingly convincing.
The black wire basket has a coir liner (just like the real deal), and the red geraniums have that slightly fuzzy leaf texture that real ones have. You’d have to touch them to realize they’re not real.
Hang it from a railing, set it on steps, or put it in a window box frame. $34.99, and you’ll never have to water them or replace them when they get leggy in August.
This is the piece that stops everyone in their tracks. It’s a tall metal cactus, painted bright green with pink metal flowers on its arms, and it’s big enough to be a genuine focal point in a yard.
If your style leans Southwestern, desert-modern, or you just want something playful and different, this is it. At $69.45 it’s one of the pricier garden accents, but the scale justifies it.
Laura Ashley doing garden decor is exactly as charming as you’d expect. This mint green birdhouse has shuttered windows, a scalloped wood-shingle roof, and a floral wallpaper interior visible through the open front.
It’s more decorative than functional (the birds might find the interior a bit on-brand), but it would look adorable on a garden shelf, covered porch, or potting bench.
A gold-finished dog with a noble, slightly goofy expression that would make a great front porch greeter.
The antique bronze-gold patina gives it character, and it’s solid enough to hold up outdoors. No visible price tag on this one. If you’re a dog person, this might follow you home.

Natural rattan lanterns in a couple of sizes, rated for indoor and outdoor use. The woven texture gives them a warmth that glass or metal lanterns can’t replicate.
They’d look beautiful on a patio table, flanking a doorway, or grouped on front porch steps. A candle inside one of these at dusk is a simple pleasure.
Round paper-style globe lanterns in red, blue, orange, and natural tones that glow automatically at dusk. Solar-powered, no wiring, just hang and forget. The best approach is hanging them at different heights from tree branches or across a pergola. Festive and fun for $19.99.
For a more refined look, these hanging lanterns are stunning. The top half is copper-toned with an intricate filigree cutout, and the bottom is deep blue glass.
They’re solar-powered, and at night the cutout pattern casts beautiful shadows all around them. They’d be incredible flanking a garden gate or hanging from a patio beam. At $36.93, they’re worth it for the evening ambiance alone.
A practical pick for anyone who needs quick greenery or privacy. These faux boxwood panels look surprisingly real, with little yellow flower buds mixed into the foliage.
Attach them to a fence, use them as a backdrop for potted plants, or create a privacy screen on an apartment balcony. They’re lightweight and easy to work with. Price wasn’t visible.
A modernized take on the classic garden gnome. Same pointy hats and long beards, but finished in a natural stone gray rather than bright paint.
They’ll blend right into a garden bed and look more sophisticated than the traditional versions. If you’ve been gnome-curious but never pulled the trigger, these make it easy to commit.
The cylinder-shaped version of the Allsop solar lanterns, with a textured floral pattern in blues, tans, and grays. A more subdued option compared to the colorful globes. Same $19.99 price, same solar convenience.
The olive green rope weave combined with warm wood slat seat inserts is a really appealing combination. This chair looks like it belongs at an upscale garden cafe.
It’s comfortable to sit in too, not just pretty. At $69.99 per chair, the price point is fair for outdoor seating with this much character. Pair two with a small table and you’ve got an instant garden dining spot.
A simpler, lower-maintenance option: a pair of sage green slatted metal chairs with a matching drum side table.
The muted green color works with any outdoor setting, and metal means you can leave them out in the rain without worry. Great for a small patio, balcony, or a quiet corner of the garden. Price tag wasn’t visible but these sets at HomeGoods typically run in the $100-$200 range for the group.
Ending with the biggest find. This three-piece hand-woven seagrass dining set has that resort, vacation-house quality you rarely see at HomeGoods.
It includes two generously sized woven chairs, a glass-top table, and cushions.
The seagrass weave is tight and well-constructed. At $699.99, this is an investment piece, but comparable hand-woven outdoor sets at specialty stores often run over $1,000. If you’re shopping for a patio upgrade this spring, it’s worth seeing in person.
HomeGoods cycles through their outdoor inventory fast once the season picks up, so if anything on this list caught your eye, don’t sit on it too long. The garden section is right up front, and it’s worth a browse even if you don’t have a specific list. Happy planting season!
