Old Garden Tools is the forty year passion of a collector of beautiful vintage and antique garden tools. In the absence of a museum site it has been decided to offer a cyber museum or virtual museum to give the world a database or picture book of these beautiful things and to be a resource to collectors and researchers in the field of tools and ephemera used in the art and science of gardening. We love the variety and strength of antique and vintage garden tool construction as compared to modern tools.
