For the Garden Historian who has Almost Everything

And if like me your favorite garden historian doesn't have quite everything (but is rich, rich in friends!), then perhaps something south in price from the lovely Porter telescope is appropriate. (Disclaimer:  I have no connection to any of these purveyors, so nothing to gain)

Sundial made from recycled cups from the UK's Save-a-Cup scheme, at the gardenboutique (garden clock also available)

Handcrafted modernist birdhouses by the Austrian firm raumhochrosen, representing twentieth century buildings in their home state of Vorarlberg
