In recent years, Nigel has found time to indulge his interest in vintage gardening tools and ‘gardenalia’. He searches far and wide for what he terms ‘garden treasures’, from tin baths and agricultural water tanks to chimney pots and rusted garden rollers. All of it is sought by our discerning customers for repurposing as plant containers and garden decoration. The selection is ever-changing with new-to-us items arriving almost daily. The photographs on this page offer just a teaser.
A range of preloved and brought-back-in-to-service tools is usually available.
Clay pipes make unusual planters for tiny plants including thymes and alpines.
We stock stacks of clay pipes. Each one uniquely weathered.
We dubbed this a 'Rankeltorch' chair. There's no such thing (as far as we know) but we like to give quirky objects that we know little about interesting names.
Cast ornaments like these will last many lifetimes.
We're seldom short of a few buckets and other characterful items of 'galvanalia'.
We always have plenty of interesting objects, some practical and others purely ornamental.
You too can have fairies at the bottom of the garden!
Reclaimed clay pots and pre-loved galvanised watering cans add charm to any garden.
