**Overview** The Wishing Well is a family-owned, family-operated concrete statuary manufacturer and retailer that has been casting and selling ornamental garden pieces for over 30 years. The shop stocks an expansive selection of concrete, metal, and ceramic garden art — from lions, eagles, gargoyles, and geese to birdbaths, multi-tiered fountains, benches, flags, and crosses — with new pieces rotating in regularly. **What makes The Wishing Well special?** The combination of on-site manufacturing and direct-sale pricing is the core differentiator. Customers routinely note that the price-quality ratio is difficult to match anywhere else, new or secondhand. - **Cast on site** — statuary is produced in-house, and visitors sometimes find staff actively painting pieces during their visit. - **Custom orders and custom painting** — the shop can paint any piece in the inventory to order, and can manufacture or source items not currently on display. - **Value pricing with a cash discount** — prices are clearly marked, and a 10% discount applies to cash purchases. - **Flexible, customer-first scheduling** — documented instances of opening on a closed day and accommodating after-hours pickup for customers who traveled a distance. **What fellow gardeners are saying** - Reviewers consistently describe the breadth of the inventory — concrete, metal, and ceramic pieces covering a wide range of styles and subjects — and note that selection shifts with new arrivals. - The price-to-quality comparison comes up repeatedly, with several customers noting they searched elsewhere before settling on The Wishing Well as the best value found. - The drive from the St. Louis metro is a recurring theme, framed as worthwhile — one reviewer encountered the shop while traveling through multiple states and called it the best concrete statuary source visited on the trip. - The owners are described as notably accommodating, with multiple reviewers returning year after year.
