skipetyflip

Hi all ....unsure if im posting this in the right space but if im not then please forgive me

Im looking for a bottle garden - for my mum for christmas - anyone of you guys know where i can purchase one - im in South Wales and Ive tried the usual route of garden centres, DIY stores etc etc all to no avail

Ive tried ebay and amazon and also looked in charity shops for just the bottle and make one up myself for her - but nothing

Any help would be gratefully rec'd :j

Thanks you guys.....Skip

Not sure on the size, but perhaps a demijohn would work? You can get a cork to fit the top to seal it up.

Tricky. Try searching for a terrarium. Not quite the same as a bottle garden but you do get pretty ones for planting.

Thanks both ... Ive searched both terrarium & demi john's lol but havn't come up with much - may try contacting that seller though pookie as he states he has them of differnet sizes/design - Thanks again to both of you .....Skip

Don't know if this would be any use to you, skipetyflip... though the postage is expensive

You could try old glass sweet jars - I have seen some planted gardens around but very expensive.

T K Maxx used to do lots of large glass stuff - and I had a nice large fishbowl once which we now have a collossal cactus in.
