Tools of theGarden

In an Italian garden it is not unusual to find tools that have been handed down from one generation to the next - beautiful, weathered works of art. These are tools that know the feel of busy, industrious hands. These are hands that never shy from hard work and are always happiest with a little dirt under their nails.
