NOSE TO THE GRINDSTONE

RUSTIC REMINDERS

Many gardens benefit from rustic touches of nostalgia. Think old wagon wheels, weathered watering cans, recycled industrial containers used as pots, rusted agricultural implements or, as above, a grindstone passed down from a long-ago relative that now sits in the garden of Melbourne garden writer Maureen Lucas and green thumb Paul Lucas. For emotive found items, look to spark a sense of history and of human striving.
