I had never heard of a garden sink until a friend offered up the idea. It turns out that he had an extra sink hanging around too. It was a double sink, but he was able to cut it in half. This created another “garden project” for my wonderful husband! The only purchases for this sink were some screws, a quart of paint, the coil hose, and a sprayer. All the other materials were hanging around from other projects. Once Kyle got the hard part done Charlotte and I got to work painting. She picked out the color too! I had a hanging basket hook that had been bent from a heavy hanging basket, which works great to hold the hose for easy spraying! This sink has gotten some good use already! I am thrilled to have it!
