One of my favorite things about spring is flowers. This Fall I have put a lot of work into a new garden. A couple of weeks ago I filled the new area with several types of bulbs. I wanted to create a unique border for my new garden but I had to stay within my “teacher budget”. I decided to combine two of my passions, gardening and recycling. One of my favorite wines comes in a beautiful blue glass bottle. On a whim one day I decided to “plant” a couple of bottles. Viola! A beautiful border made of recycled glass. I asked a couple of my friends to start saving me their green and blue wine bottles. I have planted about thirty and need another hundred or so to complete the border. It’s a good thing I know so many people that love wine!
I can help! I love a kind of wine that comes in a blue bottle as well. I will save them for you. I use the bottles as vases but this is a great idea...so creative.

ReplyDeleteSarah, this is great! I love the two colors of bottles - and just think how beautiful they will look in the dead of winter against the white snow!
ReplyDelete@Colette Great!! I have been getting more green than blue, another blue "supplier" would be terrific.
ReplyDelete@Charisse I hadn't even thought about that. You are right, the contrast in color will be beautiful! I have wondered if the bottles will crack in the cold but I am hopeful that everything will be ok.
ReplyDeleteSarah, the bottle arrangement looks great against the fall leaves. I am going to replace my old wood border around the side of my house this spring. You'll have to let me know if your glass bottles hold up against the cold of the winter and don't break! I would be very interested in possibly using glass for a border if yours holds up!
ReplyDelete@Amy,
ReplyDeleteI will be sure to let you know how they hold up!
