Tending an urban container garden calls for a watering can that isn't only easy to carry, but also easy to store. Enter Haws' galvanized-steel Slim Watering Can, which is only seven inches wide but can hold up to five litres of water. Best of all, the brass "rose" spout provides a gentle dousing akin to rain itself. $65 through www.leevalley.com.
