Bee Glade Farm & Nursery is CLOSED as of 2021. 
However, we still have concrete garden plaques
available while stocks last.

Stepping Stones and Plaques

Picture

Concrete Plaques and Stepping Stones are made by hand at Bee Glade Farm

We sometimes use coloured concrete in some of our molds, using pigments mixed in the wet product. 
Long ago there used to be a river bed where our property is now, so there is an abundance of sand. We use some of this sand in our concrete work.  Other pieces Brian paints with exterior acrylic and then uses a weatherproof seal.
We have also started using copper and iron sulfate washes, which give a wonderful blue-green and golden-copper colour to the pieces.

Stepping stones (measuring from 16" - 18") are reinforced with metal.

Larger wall plaques (12" - 14"), are reinforced with smaller pieces of scrap metal. The metal for hanging hooks are put in the wet concrete so they harden in the cement and are absolutely secure. Some of the molds are finished with a latex finish, this gives a shiny finish, others are left in their natural state.

Just before CHRISTMAS you can find our concrete plaques, fairies and stepping stones in the Kootenay Gallery of Art, History & Science.  (Castlegar, BC)
