Hi im in the UK and i want to try and get hold of an old wooden original cartwheel, im after an authentic one as i want to use it for my herb garden and plant individual herbs in between each spoke on the wheel. Does anyone know where i can get one from?
Hi there Rich and welcome to GardenStew!! :-D Lovely to have you here with us. Do you have a reclamation yard near you by any chance? They are a great source for items such as old cartwheels. Another thought - you could check on your computer if you have a Freecycle group in your area. There may be someone willing to give you a wheel. Lastly if you take a trip to farms round and about where you live you could possibly find a friendly farmer who would let you have/buy a cartwheel from him. Hope this helps. Do post a photograph for us if you manage to get what you are looking for and plant it up.
old wooden antique cartwheel Hi Eileen Thank you for your reply and for the welcome, i have been reading through this site and have come accross some great ideas. I took your advice and looked at reclamation yards for an old antique cartwheel, i am not very mobile so i have been searching online and i came accross a UK company who deliver. I am sure this will make a nice feature for my herb garden, I will post a picture when it arrives.
Hi richta, Glad you were able to find the cartwheel. It sounds like a wonderful way to have a Medicine Wheel type of garden. Looking forward to seeing your pictures. I have a replica of a wagon wheel that hopefully will become a backdrop for a feature I have been planning.
I'm also looking for an old wheel (not a huge one) and an old chair that I can cut a hole in the seat and put a planter in it. Toni, bet you find yours first!!
