BOTTLE BORDER

I bordered one of my flower beds with upturned wine bottles sunk into the soil. It's very effective, especially when the sun sparkles on the water that collects in the rounded bottoms. But it took forever to do and we had to drink a hell of a lot of wine! Unfortunately one or two have broken and are difficult to replace as they're stuck in pretty well by now and broken glass is difficult to grip.

  1. I love this photo. It brings back such wonderful memories for me. My grandmother did that for her gardens - which were so lovely. Thank you for this photo.

  2. I've seen this done in garden beds in the area and the effect with the sunlight is lovely.

  4. Absolutely wonderful! Love the way you've composed the bottles on a diagonal in this shot, and the surrounding atmosphere of the day's weather.

    Not ever seen this done before, nor would I have been clever enough to think of it!
