Unfortunately, the items shown below are no longer available. I apologize for any inconvenience. However, please check out these long-neck or 3-gallon watering cans for your garden needs.
If usage determines the success of a gift choice, then my mom hit a home run with a watering can birthday gift a few years ago. I use it every morning to water my container gardens and sometimes twice a day when the temperatures reach the upper 90′s like they did last week.
(See, another great gardening gift!)
Pigs in the Garden?
Even watering cans add a whimsical touch of practical AND usable sculpture to any garden. Whoever thought of inviting a pig or a duck in a garden (also available in a smaller piglet design)! Now these would be a unique gift for any gardener with a sense of humor!
Or you may prefer a more traditional latticework design like the rust-resistant Haws Watering Can – available in bronze or graphite-grey.
The long neck on these watering cans makes it easy to get to hard to reach pots while the shower effect of the removable brass nozzle (called a ”rose”) doesn’t disturb or injure the plants. And I really like the ergonomic 2-handle design: a handle on the top for easy carrying and a back handle for pouring and tipping.
My watering can is super easy to fill up directly from my rain barrel and its two-gallon capacity is easy to carry all around the yard. I can get a lot of watering accomplished with just one fill-up! Watering cans are useful gifts for any gardener.
These fun and practical watering cans get our green thumbs up!![]()



I’m so sorry that these watering cans are no longer available via the web site or catalog due to today’s announcement about the closing of Smith & Hawken. Some merchandise is still available at individual store locations until their final closing expected later in 2009. Sorry for the inconvenience.
