Tarhuri (gardener) is a tribute to the creations of Mother Nature, all the beautiful fruits and vegetables and colors shifting from sun-baked hues to the sharper tones that develop in shade. It celebrates the wonder of something as marvelous as an apple tree or a watermelon growing from a tiny little seed. The pattern also reflects the joy of growing your own food, how your own small strawberries always taste best.
Vihannesmaa (vegetable garden) is a smallerscale version of Tarhuri.
Fabrics are sold by the decimeter (1 meter = 10 decimeters).
For example, If you need 2.2 m, choose 22 units.
