| Lisa's Garden Designs Handcrafted hypertufa planters and garden art |
| W elcome to my site! My name is Lisa and I am a certified Master Gardener with a background in concrete. It only seemed natural that with my passion for plants and gardening, along with my experience in concrete; I would enjoy making hypertufa planters. It all started with the creation of simply styled pieces that I filled with plants to decorate my home and patio. Once friends and family saw them, they just had to have some of their own. For the past couple of years I have been working at a local wholesale greenhouse where my planters and other garden accessories have become a big hit with many of the garden center customers. "What is hypertufa?" you ask. Hypertufa is a mixture of cement, peat moss, perlite and water that makes a very lightweight and realistic stone looking product. Soon I realized that I could use this mixture to make beautiful birdbaths, decorative garden stones, mushrooms, sundials and much more. Some of which I have added beautiful looking cast iron pieces to, which really add a nice touch. Others I leave plain for a more simple look. Each one is hand formed to create a beautiful and unique piece. I think you will be very happy with the craftsmanship and attention to detail that I put into each and every item. Because my products are so lightweight, you can easily move them around your garden, or bring them in for the winter if you live in an area with freezing temperatures. . |
