In this issue: Garden Tools

Issue #8 of Pleasant Place considers the materiality of the gardener's vision—their tools. From sowing and digging to weeding and watering, the essential, the practical, the beautiful and the beyond are considered. Highlights include: “the instrument of all instruments”—the hand; a visit to Garden and Wood’s shop of vintage tools and ephemera; and 5 gardeners on their most trusted tools.
