The decorative wagons I have seen are similar to the real thing but are decked out to really create a new look for even a little garden patch. But what I am completely fond of are the decorative wheelbarrows that are created as the exact replicas from the heart of the Amish community.

I grew up in Lancaster, and I know exactly what wheelbarrow planters with that name should look like. Anyone who grew up among the Amish knows that the structure and look of their carts, wheelbarrows, and wagons are quite distinctive and play a vital role in the lifestyle. It's been a very long time since I had to slow down and wait as I trolled along behind an Amish buggy, but the nostalgia is there to make it seem just like yesterday.

The wheelbarrow planters give you ample options when it comes to the décor of your lawn. You can use them specifically as planters or you can use them as customary pieces simply for their decorative value. Decorative wheelbarrows are great for adding a little personality to an area around a lamp post or a mailbox, but it is also a unique way to set off an entire garden.

Usually when you see such decorative pieces they are located next to or among the flowers. Yet you don't have to display these types of pieces in any given manner. You can combine lawn decorations in order to create a full blown scene or you can fill it with autumn gourds. I love the creativity and the luxuries you can take with decorative wheelbarrows because it leaves room for change. It doesn't have to serve just one purpose. It can be moved, removed, and decked out just about in any manner you see fit.

If you haven't been to any towns with Amish communities you can still get quite a bit out of appreciating the beauty and sophisticated olde world style of these decorative pieces. If you have been to an Amish community or you have grown up in such an area you will absolutely appreciate the detailing and the accuracy of real Lancaster wheelbarrow planters.
