Freeland Tanner created this gate from garden tools to welcome visitors to his enclosed vegetable garden. Freeland's collections of garden tools can be seen all over the garden he shares with his wife, Sabrina, in Napa, California.

Would especially like to see beyond the gate...in reality. Thank you for sharing. Put a smile on my face!!! Posted: 1:22 pm on July 24th
