Iron Clad Garden

Mrs. Powers Garden Gate-Mackenzie-Childs

Popping up among among the hydrangeas and roses this year are fabulous garden elements that fall into the "everything old is new again" category. We are seeing perfect solutions to seating, planting and design made of durable iron. Many have an antique feel and I have spotted great original vintage pieces at antique marts made of iron go for huge dollars so these new pieces that are reminiscent with great style caught my eye...
