It’s still (or again) a bit fresh outside, but the ambitious gardener is of course already thinking about how the 35 square meter row house lawn should be used this year. So it’s a good thing that the “Garden 2023” calendar has just arrived, from a company that is known for refining even the simplest everyday objects into something sublime. The name doesn’t matter if you still want to know: The exquisite range can be viewed live in the Alter Hof behind the town hall.
The same applies to gardening tools as to cars and mobile phones: It’s not just about functionality, but also about gaining distinction, the joy of being different from your neighbors in terms of style and lifestyle. And what better way to do that than with the “gold snake” rubber hose? It is kink and impact resistant and can withstand pressure loads of up to 30 bar. The gold snake is 20 meters long, one meter costs 19.95 euros, so the total price adds up to 399 euros. But beware! The whole thing is useless if you don’t also buy the brass hose coupling, it’s another 17.90 euros.
When the hose is then connected to the municipal water network, the “polished copper watering can” could be filled with it; it holds five liters and costs 149 euros. Another copper watering can is a tenner cheaper, it can even hold 8.5 liters and, according to the catalog text, is “well balanced for effortless watering”.
Before the plants were taken care of, the garden god had to work the soil. This is done in style with the “garden spade stainless steel”, 239 euros. The range of instruments is sensibly supplemented by the root spade, the digging fork and the rose fork, all three also for a good 200 euros each. If the woman of the house is interested in helping to design the garden, she can be equipped with the “lady’s plant spade”, which costs less than 70 euros.
Of course, all the equipment must also be accommodated in a manner appropriate to the species. The “larch wood garden cabinet” is recommended for this, two meters high, 95 centimeters wide, 58 centimeters deep, 1499 euros expensive. Equipped in this way, nothing should stand in the way of the cultivation of daisies and dandelions.
