We’re looking for historical items that can be used as containers in our Edible Pickens gardens

Must have a story – could be anything from the history of what the item is to a narrative of what their family used the item for.  We’ll add signage to each item in the gardens. Examples – agricultural items, boilers or other parts of moonshine stills, items from the marble quarries. We’re open to anything historical with a focus on being from Pickens or Appalachia, as long as it’s large enough but not too large, and durable enough to withstand the outdoors.

• No wood – just stone, marble, metal, etc… materials that won’t degrade too quickly because they’ll be outside and in contact with soil, moisture, and plants.
• If they’re not completely water or soil tight, we can put a pot or a liner in it to hold the soil and plant.
• Must be able to hold a minimum of 5 gallons of soil, but 10-15 gallons is preferred.
• Donated items are appreciated, but if it’s really awesome and priced affordably, it may be considered.
