As people embrace their green thumbs more and more -- due in large part to the desire to live more eco-friendly lives -- designers are stepping up to bring such a timeless activity into the 21st century; that's where these modern watering cans come into play. Made for the contemporary gardener, this collection of unique designs may differ in style, yet they still focus on an important function.
From modern watering cans that double as vases to make them useful even when they're not being employed to ones that take on sculptural looks in order to be put on display proudly, these designs are practical in various ways. Some of them also also created to make the process less painless for newbie gardeners.
