Freeland Tanner created this gate from garden tools to welcome visitors to his enclosed vegetable garden. Freeland’s collections of garden tools can be seen all over the garden he shares with his wife, Sabrina, in Napa, California.

Wow, love love love this garden entry. If possible can I have the plans for this. This is my favorite entry! Absolutely enticing and beautifully done! Thanks for sharing...
Ok, that is arguably the most awesome gate ever.
Love this gate!! Love the color too! I want one! Can we see more? Great looking tuteurs in the background.
This gate is over the top. Love it, Love it. Would also love to have the plan. I agree that we need to see more of the garden behind the gate. We would have missed it without the daily email from Fine Gardening!
No worries, you'll definitely be seeing more of this garden in FG in the next year or so! In the meantime, here is another GPOD from the same garden.

That garden gate is beyond words. The use of the tools, the color. It is perfect.
Being an avid gardener as well as an artist...a profusion of kudos to you for the highly creative garden gate. If you ever lose any tools you will know where to look. Would especially like to see beyond the gate...in reality. Thank you for sharing. Put a smile on my face!!!
WOW!! What a gate. Are plans available??
Love the Color of the Gate, and the Design, Great Stuff/////
This is way cool and so creative!
Beautiful!! I love the color schemes of the greenery & colors!
Thx

So beautiful. Have it saved in my "favorites" folder.
catchy design but those are expensive garden tools. Who can afford to waste them like this?
ONLY in Napa!
Okay... I'm showing this to my husband ASAP!!! Brilliant in every way!
I am absolutely in love with that gate! I am going to tell my husband I need one now! It ties the whole garden together! Thank you for sharing.
