I discuss quite a bit about my nice grandma’s fern and the way particular it’s to me. Final 12 months once we moved my mother from her dwelling to my brother’s dwelling, she was having well being issues. At the moment, I took her fern dwelling with me. The plant stand that got here with it, may be very sentimental to me as a result of mother’s fern has all the time been on it. Just lately, I known as her to ask her the place she bought it. Beneath is an image of her fern on the stand.

The start​


I suppose I knew my grandpa had made the stand however didn’t know far more than that. What I didn’t know was that he made the stand particularly FOR the fern she had obtained at her marriage ceremony bathe. After I requested mother about it, she stated, “He made the stand for the fern.” Isn’t that candy? I adore it! Her fern was on that stand till just lately. I’ll put it again on it, simply due to this story. I inherited my dad’s selfmade ladder and used it to make an enormous plant stand and put the fern on it with many, many different crops. One other sentimental plant stand. After all, if he knew I reduce his ladder in half, he may not be too pleased.

Making the stand​


The put up of the stand is a porch put up and the highest and backside are items of wooden. After taking a look at it extra rigorously, I spotted the sq. high got here near being a spherical form like the underside as a result of I can nonetheless see Grandpa Baldwin’s pencil marks. I ponder what made him resolve to depart it sq.?

I just lately was in an vintage retailer and located a desk leg that I believed was attractive and would make an ideal little plant stand. So I despatched it to my brother Brian who, like our grandpa likes to work with wooden. He put a high and backside on it and I adore it. I ponder what occurred to the remainder of the desk?

I really like how he signed the underside and dated it a bit forward for my birthday.

He signed it and dated it for my birthday later this month.


The humorous factor is that I turned grandpa’s fern stand over and wrote on the underside of it, too earlier than my brother made this for me. I wrote the story of the stand on the underside so I wouldn’t neglect. My daughters will all the time know the story of grandma’s plant stand, too.

Do you could have a particular plant or plant stand? Inform me about it within the feedback.
