I'm looking for affordable buddha garden statues in Vancouver or nearby. I've checked Chinatown, landscaping stores and garden stores and novelty eastern stores. They are very expensive or not the right type of buddha. If I have to I will buy desk or any other cheaper material. Where do they have affordable and varied selection?
I don't know how affordable they are, but Northwest Landscape & Stone Supply on Byrne Rd has lots of Buddha statuary in both concrete and granite. I suspect the concrete will be your cheaper alternative.
Northwest is always your best bet for this sort of thing. Check out their marble Gurglers; my pink one is the envy of every person who sees it. Even my pagoda draws admiring looks.
