These traditional wire structures have a real sculptural feel about them that would give great architectural interest whether clothed with plants or not. The openess of them makes them especially useful in smaller spaces. They are available from www.garden-requisites.co.uk with prices starting at £160.00.
The design house Rephorm have produced this ingenious over-the-balcony table with an integrated planter.Its great for balconies where space is at a premium being only 60cm deep. The table is designed to fit over most railings whether flat,round or rectangular. It can be left outside as its made of waterproofed recyclable PE.
Most of us have no need for a wheelbarrow in the size of gardens that we have but this wheelbarrow, the Loungebarrow, is something else. It is designed by the German design duo Sascha Urban and Dorothea Wirwall. The Loungebarrow is a wheelbarrow that easily transforms into a useable chair.
I just love these bird feeders and bird houses from www.rephorm.de. They are made of powder coated sheet steel and are magnetic to allow them to be attached to steel drainpipes.

Many moons ago when I started work on a nursery as a lad, there were no plastic seed trays only wood ones that we built in the potting shed on wet winter days.
Now these charming wood seed trays are available in a set of three for £9.95 from www.burgonandball.com. They are made from untreated pine to ensure no contamination and are slatted for drainage. For that extra touch, the large tray has the word 'seedlings' branded onto the side.
