Guy Wolff Garden Pottery
has become the best known line of handmade pottery in the US, drawing inspiration from historic garden pottery of 18th and 19th century England, France, Italy and the United States. Heaven’s Gate is delighted to be one of the exclusive retailers to offer Guy Wolff’s pottery. Guy Wolff, a master potter from Litchfield, CT specializes in breathing new life back into historical pottery designs. As was the custom long ago, Guy Wolff & Co. pots are sold by the wet weight of the clay, which is stamped into every piece along with the date and brand mark. Guy’s work has been featured in many magazines, including Horticulture, Country Living Gardener, Victoria, Martha Stewart Living and the New York Times. He has been a frequent quest on Martha Stewart Television, and his pots decorate the greenhouse portion on the set of the new “Martha” daytime show on NBC. Drawing upon historic designs of the 18th and 19th century England, France, Italy and America, Guy Wolff garden pottery has become the best known line of handmade pottery in the country. We are proud to be one of the exclusive retailer’s of Guy’s fabulous line of pottery. Care and Use: Natural salts, minerals, soil content and fertilizers will be absorbed by the pot and will evolve the finish over time, as Guy intended. For those who wish to retain the original finish, leave your plants in the plastic growers pot. In cold climates, bring these 100% natural terra-cotta pots indoors before a frost. Guy Wolff always wanted to make a line of pots that was easy enough on the pocketbook that one could “Fill a Green House with them” - traditional in form and in beautiful proportions - to answer many gardening needs. In the last few years the need to find an inexpensive line of pots for the market just coming into our gardening family. You truly could fill a green house with these pots. Now the only question is which plants to fill these gorgeous pots with!

The Garden Gates Ampholia pottery from France maintains its 16th century original patina and handcrafted quality. This piece of gorgeous pottery is not only beautiful it is functional as well. Meant to hold potpourri, scented oils, and other such items. This pottery is made of two parts: the pedistal base and the vented top both with a beautiful antiqued finish.

The new Blue Pool by Kaloo encompasses many functions, making it our most versatile product ever.

First it’s an Activity Center with a 50cm inner pool diameter. Three toys are conveniently tucked in the inner ring. The bottom pad provides comfort and peace of mind while providing a secure environment for your new arrival. The front side detaches easily with its large safety buttons and magnets to become a comfortable Nursing Pillow (dimensions: 16 cm diameter x 90cm length). As always, most everything Kaloo is front load machine washable and dry able. With the front end off the Pool, it then converts to a playful Changing Station (dimensions: 72 cm x 63cm). In a final bit of cleverness, the pad can be completely detached (again via the Safety buttons and magnets) to become a Back Rest (dimensions: 40cm height), for years of regular use.

All kaloo products are created with the greatest of care and attention under the supervision of quality engineers.
All products are manufactured in compliance with European safety standards (EN71)

These standards cover such aspects of safety as the strength of the stitching, non existance of prohibited chemicals and fire resistance.
In addition to these safety standards the kaloo fabrics have some added qualities.
Colour resistance to immersion in water
Colour resistance to perspiration
Colour resistance to saliva
These added qualities ensure the durability of the products.
It is recommended that products be machine washed and tumble dried to conserve the colours and the quality.

All facial features are stitched in computer embroidery to ensure the longevity
of the products and avoid any detachment of the threads.

Topiary Shears that work!

Filed under: Things from the Garden — Garden Gate Guy @ 3:21 pm
Tags:,

This is for the gardener looking for perfection. These shears make prune almost fun. Slicing through new growth, soft foliage or wet material is one of the most demanding tasks for a cutting tool. It is in effect a specialist job. It’s no good expecting secateurs to do it – they were designed specifically to cut through woody material and will just chew up anything soft, leaving ragged, unsightly AND unhealthy edges.

These shears, with their razor sharp blades will slice through soft stuff like butter and what’s more, they’ll keep doing it long after other similar tools have blunted.

This design of shear (developed from sheep shears) is particularly good for Topiary because:the grip position places the hands right over the blades giving maximum possible cutting control – essential for precious topiary shapes.and the single handed operation leaves one hand free to ‘fluff up’ the foliage
Burgon & Ball Topiary & Garden Shears are also ideal for lawn edging, dead heading, opening compost sacks, cutting wet pond weed and dozens of other trimming jobs around the garden.

Burgon & Ball shears out perform any others of similar design by miles!

I have been looking into hummingbird feeders for some time and found a great product. These birdfeeders are a great alternative to the traditional notions of bird feeding. This beautiful hand blown glass humming bird feeder features three feeding vessels held suspended in the air by a black powder coated hanger. These feeders feature an ant moat blown into the glass top – just fill with water to keep ants from finding nectar. Flower Pot™ vessels measure 4” and is made from Recycled glass. They add a nice dimension to the garden with color, style and function. This is the perfect gift for any garden lover. Check this product out.

My Perfect Garden!

Filed under: Welcome — Garden Gate Guy @ 1:29 pm

Well I really don’t think it’s perfect. It’s perfect for me. That’s the important part for each and every one of us, what makes your garden yours is you. Yeah that sound crazy or just a bunch of words put together but it is true. I had an experience this week with a new garden installation at a home in the Lakeview area of New Orleans. It was for a local builder at his personal home and he always did the work himself or had one of his crews do it for him but this time wanted it done right. People who garden for themselves sometimes cut corners. This builder cut the corners when it came to landscaping his homes. The problem was that I have developed into a garden designer that does one garden very well, French Gardens. I don’t like color in gardens except for white and I really like the use of topiary shapes to make a statement. This project has both sun and shade issues as well being on a small lot. The home is raised about 5 feet off the ground so height proportion comes into play with the style of the home being a haze town. I decided to use 5 plants on this project planting each of the similar materials in a solid mass. This helped me with the uncomfortable territory of this garden design that just doesn’t work with my taste. So I have put together a grouping of plants that I like and the client seems to be happy, well….his is crazy so that make everything else balance out. Here is a picture of my garden at night and a few photos of his garden.
