Copper Watering Can (MV1500) - $175Need a gift for the "green thumb" in the family? Why not splurge on this beautiful copper watering can? Fill it with fresh flowers, and it makes the perfect gift for any gardener during this holiday season. This is an exact reproduction of a French copper watering can used at the gardens of Mount Vernon during Washington's presidency.
George Washington had a keen interest in gardening and delighted in nurturing rare and exotic plants which were sent to him from all over the world. He held his gardeners in high regard and afforded them the best tools and resources. Made of pure copper, this product will age beautifully and develop a rich verdigris patina over time when exposed to the weather. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each Mount Vernon product is returned to Mount Vernon for educational and preservation purposes.
