Description
This swan novelty watering can brings a cheerful touch to the daily round of watering, with a long curving neck, a bright orange beak and black markings around the eyes, all set on a smooth white body with moulded wings along each side. It is made from HDPE plastic and holds approximately 2 litres, enough to give a row of pots or a few windowsill plants a good drink in one go. It stands 29.2cm tall, 29.2cm long and 14.7cm wide, so it sits neatly on a shelf, step or potting bench between waterings.
We like it wherever plants live: by the back door for the patio pots, in the greenhouse, on a sunny windowsill or beside a cluster of houseplants. The neck rises to the beak, where the water pours out in a gentle stream that suits seedlings and small containers as well as larger pots. At just 175 grams empty, it is light to carry from the tap, and the arched handle across its back gives a comfortable, steady grip as you pour. Left among the flowerpots between jobs, it looks as much a garden ornament as a tool, which is half the fun of it.
The body is moulded from smooth white HDPE, with the beak picked out in orange and the eye markings in black, and you fill it through the opening near the tail. To keep it looking its best, empty it after use, rinse it through with clean water now and then and wipe the outside with a damp cloth. Kept on a sill or a shelf in the shed, it is always to hand. For a gift, pair it with a packet of seeds or a potted herb for a cheerful present that will be used every week of the growing season.
