3. Unique, handmade or a little bit different
This selection celebrates a mix of the unique or handmade, or something just a bit different — ceramicists, small studios and designers who bring individuality to the everyday garden.
Think ceramic herb strippers, terracotta ollas, propagation stations and copper secateurs. Each piece reflects the kind of love gardeners themselves bring to their work.
