Ely Can is a watering can that features unique design which mimics an elephant’s trunk. Instead of carrying this watering can, user can simply pull and roll, thank you to 2 wheels on both sides. With this new design, you don’t have to bend when water your plants. Do you know that gardening as an outdoor activity offer many health and therapeutic advantages for elderly people? Unfortunately, they usually have problem when they have to carry heavy objects such as watering can.
To answer this challenge, Diane Dupire, an industrial designer, has come up with redesigned watering can called Ely Can to help gardening become more accessible especially for people with physical limitations.

Nice design. I admire the addition of the wheels for rolling purposes and easy transportation, but that doesn't make much sense if the user has to lift the Ely Can anyways in order to use it. Plus, its size suggests that it would not be easy for the elderly to lift. I would also reconsider the color black. I like the green, but black is not really conducive to the emotion one gets from watering; not to mention the fact that black absorbs heat and hot water is ineffective for watering plants.
