The way to a gardener’s heart…

You can keep all your chocolates, mushy cards and cut flowers. If you REALLY want to wow your gardener, give her a plant stand!

My gardener Lisa needed a replacement plant stand for a wire one that was rusting away. The footprint was so narrow that we didn’t need the usual 4 legs, and frankly I wanted to make a new design. I came up with this three legged stand, a tripod without the usual angled tripod legs.

Lisa suggested I could sign it with my wood burning set. I made some cartoon sketches (first image), picked one and burned it in – a perfect combination of cartoons, carpentry, plants and love….

Happy Valentine’s Day to All!!!
