Try planting bulbs for a Spring surprise!
Enlist little helpers!
A red wagon adds a touch of nostalgia to a cottage garden.
Let your imagination take flight with a fairy garden.It’s springtime, at least according to the calendar. As you plan for your garden this year, consider how you can use your Radio Flyer wagon … new or old!
Enlist a trusty helper: The founder of Radio Flyer, Antonio Pasin, built wagons to transport his tools around his workshop. When people were more interested in the wagons than the wood cabinets he was crafting, he knew he was on to something! Wagons are also handy in the garden, for toting everything from garden tools to dirt and plants ...even little helpers. (Radio Flyer wheelbarrows for kids are handy in the garden too!)
Create a magical world: Fairy Gardens seem to have taken off in popularity the last few years. Make your fairy garden mobile in an old wagon. Or try a DIY miniature fairy garden. Magical!
