How to create an eye-catching display with this simple garden tool <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Consider the wheelbarrow. It may lack the grace of an airplane, the speed of an automobile, the initial capacity of a freight car. But its humble wheel marked out the path of what civilization we still have.” <\/p>Hal Borland American author, journalist, naturalist 1900-1978<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Think about it. Wheelbarrows are among the oldest tools still in existence today. They were originally made out of wood. Then metal and now plastic. But, through the years, gardeners have discovered wheelbarrows make the most charming planters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is that? Maybe its because the wheelbarrow is a tool that’s right at home in the landscape. Brimming over with flowers, it’s ‘a natural’ as a decorative accent. Whether under the canopy of an apple tree or out in the middle of a sunny yard, a wheelbarrow always look as if it belongs right where it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wheelbarrows are also effective because they display flowers at an eye-catching level. They work beautifully in a vignette (small display). Paired with an old rake or shovel, it shouts: “a gardener lives here!” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wheelbarrows are one of the simplest yet most noticeable features you should think about adding to your yard or garden this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
