Hippe, Krail und Rasenpatsche - Zur Geschichte der Gartengeräte

Many historical gardening tools have for the most part fallen into oblivion in the gardens of today. The original wide range of gardening tools has disappeared due to industrial production in the current market - and with this, knowledge of the use and design of the individual tools. These are of historical significance in terms of both culture and gardening. For the first time, a general reference work is now available that describes the function and design of historical tools in a detailed manner and offers assistance in identifying them. The gardening tools in this book are listed and presented according to their purposes, such as soil cultivation, sowing and planting, cutting, watering, and lawn planting and maintenance.
The author Clemens Alexander Wimmer is one of the best-known German-speaking garden historians and conservation specialists of our time.
