Artful Garden Tools Perform in Your Garden

Green Piece, art installation, Michael Johansson, 2009
Function may follow form in this case, but who cares. I don’t know if all of the component garden tools and equipment of this piece actually work, but I think the idea is very cool.
Imagine if you could easily carry and transport all you needed in a compact gardening equipment cube like this one by Swedish artist Michael Johansson, then put it all back together so it fits nicely and compactly into your less-than-generously sized digs. In the meantime, enjoy this piece of green.

This Artful Garden Tools is a good idea for those who want to make a mini garden in their backyard, and I’m one of them so thanks so much for this idea!

I’ve had this region on my bucket list for a while, but your photos of that coastal walk completely sold me. Did you feel like three days was enough time to really explore without rushing, or would you recommend tacking on an extra day or two?
