Hello Gardeneers,

In our school gardens, we use the Bloem Translucent 1-Gallon Bluebonnet plastic watering cans (see photo). The measurement lines on the side, along with the translucent body, are great for reinforcing fractions and measurement with students.

We usually bulk order them (I think they come 10 to a case) from a locally owned Ace Hardware, whose owner gives us discounted pricing.

For our greenhouse, I’m looking for a different style of watering can that provides a much gentler shower, something better suited for watering seed trays without disturbing the soil.

Does anyone have recommendations for watering cans with a very soft rose/sprinkler head or any favorite models you use for seedlings?

Best,

Christina Abuelo
