Every October somebody asks us for a witch, and the Flying Witch garden weathervane is the answer. It’s a witch on a broomstick in black silhouette, set over an arrow with the directional indicators for north, south, east and west. The name says garden because that’s where it’s meant to go, down in the yard rather than up on a roof peak.

Cast aluminum that stays out all year

The Flying Witch garden weathervane is cast in the USA from recycled aluminum, so it will not rust. You can leave it out through the season or all year, because it has the same all-weather protective coating as the rooftop figures. It also carries the same five-year warranty.

Black is the finish, and it’s the right one for a witch

Black is the only color offered. A witch is a silhouette by nature: the hat and the broom only work as a dark shape. Against grass, mulch or a dusting of snow, Black makes the figure read instantly from the sidewalk.

The Flying Witch garden weathervane past October

Plenty of people leave the Flying Witch garden weathervane up well past Halloween, and it holds up fine. A black silhouette in a perennial bed looks fine in June. The arrow still swings into the wind, so it earns its spot as a working piece and not only a seasonal one. Set it where you’ll see it from a window, because that’s where you’ll notice the wind shift before you step outside.

No lettering means nothing to proof, so you can order it the week you think of it. The Halloween Bat rooftop weathervane is the companion piece for the roof, and both are on our weathervanes page. For other yard pieces in the same material, see the Garden Collection.
