Garden Badge Made From 19th Century Garden Tools

$3,500.00

Every great garden deserves its own coat of arms. Not one celebrating noble bloodlines or inherited titles, but the considerably more honest business of getting one's hands dirty.

We've assembled this striking garden badge from three 19th-century garden implements, each with a remarkable history of its own. Two extraordinary espalier-grown hay forks, painstakingly trained from living saplings over years to achieve their distinctive forms, cross beneath an iron shovel bearing two beautifully crude repairs. A reminder of a time when tools were made to last, and worth mending when they didn't.

Together, they form a wonderfully graphic emblem of horticultural devotion, equal parts folk art, garden history, and accidental sculpture. Now secured on a custom mount, these humble instruments have been given a rather distinguished retirement.

A badge of honor for those who understand that a beautiful garden requires considerably more than a green thumb.
