Terracotta is a great material for detecting the temperatures in your outdoor gardens. This hard material isn’t harmed by the sun, as it’s been baked at high temperatures to turn the soft clay into a hardened clock.

Decorative Boho Sun Garden Thermometer
This garden thermometer is functional, displaying the temperature in large black print on a white face in both Celsius and Fahrenheit. And it’s stylish due to the attractive antique copper finish on the sun’s straight and curvy rays.
Designer Advice:
An outdoor thermometer in a brassy orangish copper finish can match terracotta thermometers' symbolic orangish clay color. Copper can be a lovely outdoor choice to jazz up the look of your garden. And a white face adds neutrality that tones down the richness of the copper metal. Plus, a sun-shaped temperature gauge adds a cheerful aesthetic to gardens.
