The Flower Lady- Now in three sizes
In this Special Feature from The Garden Furniture Centre Clarence answers the most common questions about her life so far …
How do you make a difference?
“I was designed by a guy called Aaron in Australia and he took me to Vietnam to be hand-made from recycled 44-gallon drums. The skilled crafts-people in Vietnam who make me get a better quality of life because Aaron pays them well and gives them the skills they need.”
You spend a lot of time outside – how do you cope?
“The drums I’m made of are originally designed to cope with the harshest weather conditions during their ocean-going past – this is then passed on to me as I’m made. I love the sun because I’m UV Resistant and my enamel-coating gives me added protection.”
Obviously you’re made over and over again … are all Clarence’s the same?
“No. We’re all made from different coloured44-gallon drums - this makes me and all my cousins totally unique to the people, like you, who buy us.”
What are your best qualities?
I’ve got holes in my feet meaning I can stay upright on any surface – however uneven. My flower compartment has a hole for drainage purposes and a plug when you need me to hold the water and feed the plants I look after. I’ve also got wheels on my back legs so you can move me around easily.”
