Very nice yard art!

Love it!

I love it! I need to make one, too, I think.... where did you get the beautiful blue bottles?

Looks terrific, Karalynn! I love the idea of a bottle tree, and the cobalt blue bottles are perfection! Great job, and thanks for sharing the photo. You've inspired me. I have water-filled cobalt blue bottles hanging around the interior of my backporch that I use for rooting sweet potato vines and other stuff, but I've never tried a bottle tree. Now I want to make one of those, too!

Evelyn,Schmitt Sohne Riesling wine (the one with the ads about the "little German" with the tiny German man...)comes in beautiful cobalt blue bottles - you can get it at Publix and Sams. I bought it for the bottle and found out the wine is ok too. The labels are easy to soak off too - esp compared to some!

I like the bottle tree Karalyn, I might do one like that for a different "species" in my yard - what you're doing with the plantings around it will be nice when you finish it. I want to see it!

I love the idea of hanging blue bottles to root things in. I'm going to start doing that this weekend. I had some bottles saved that I didn't know what to do with.

wow...VERY neat, indeed!! Hmmm...there's another really good riesling called "RELAX" ....I think it's only right that we drink wine from blue bottles for the purpose of promoting garden art..... Agreed???

oh yes, good idea, and DH can't complain because i neeeeed the bottles. And actually I should have known about the German Riesling, gosh, I grew up with it.... 12 bottles of wine... I can deal with it no problem ;-)

I found some of my bottles at thrift stores but the rest I pulled out of recycling bins. I probably made a funny site with my feet in the air while I fished bottles out of those dumpter sized recycling bins!

I originally got the idea to make a bottle tree in this shape from a magazine. The main difference between mine and the one I saw was that I used copper pipes instead of rebar. I just think that the blue bottles really look good against the aged copper.

I love your bottle tree, Karalynn. I've been wanting to make one for a long while now. That's a great idea using copper.

Some vodkas come in nice blue bottles.

Here is a link that might be useful: bottle tree thread

We have an obligation to do our part to beautify our gardens and if drinking wine in blue bottles is what it takes then we are just the ones to step up to the plate - or wine glass as the case may be - and do it! Lady Bird planted flowers, we plant bottle trees, she'd be proud of us.
