"To display with pleasure one’s effort – that’s what this garden piece is all about. Just as important as all the hard work, is taking time to enjoy the fruits of our energy. Hardly anything gives a greater sense of accomplishment than working in the soil with our hands to help reveal nature’s masterpieces. In winter climates your gardener’s flower box can also be used as a bird seed holder." Gary Lee Price
"Green Thumb II" is a bronze sculpture of a boy holding a planter box. He is wearing overalls, where a frog sits in his front pocket, and a wide-brimmed hat. The sculpture is rendered with a textured surface, emulating a lifelike quality. The expression on the boy’s face is one of joy and contentment, appreciating the flowers he is holding. The planter box he holds is adorned with ornate patterns and is spacious enough to accommodate a variety of flowers, which add color and life to the piece.
