Finding the Right Bottle for Your Bottle Garden

Bottle gardens, once a staple of upper-class Victorian homes, are making a comeback. From quaint wine jugs to terrariums capable of sustaining small reptiles or hermit crabs, bottle gardens are a great addition to a houseplant lover's collection. They're fairly simple to make, easy to care for, and beautiful to look at.

One question many would-be bottle gardeners have when starting out is: where can I find something suitable to start a bottle garden in? The answer is: just about anywhere. But if you're having trouble finding just the right container, here are some ideas for places to search:

-- Aquarium supply stores or pet shops: Any place that sells fish tanks or aquarium supplies is a great place to find containers for your bottle gardens. These places don't just sell plain old rectangular tanks anymore. You can find shapes such as hexagons and tubes and even large, round goldfish-bowl style aquariums. Any of these would make a great setup for your bottle garden.

-- Garage sales: It's amazing what people get rid of, and occasionally you can find old glass bowls, wine jugs, and glass canister sets. Don't be afraid to think creatively. Almost any attractive glass container can be transformed into a beautiful bottle garden.

-- Secondhand shops and antique stores: Like garage sales, these places have a wealth of items. A plus is that you'll find things here that you won't find in a more generic retail establishment, and you never know what find will spark your inspiration.

-- House & home stores: Stores that sell household goods are great places to find a container for your bottle garden. From decanters to cookie jars, anything glass is game.

-- Craft shops: Craft shops often offer up more unusual possibilities for bottle garden containers. Possibilities include oversized brandy glasses used for floating candles and bowls and containers for arranging flowers and centerpieces in.

Other great places to look are candle shops, party supply stores, and flea markets, dollar stores, and even your own basement or attic. Most importantly, when you're shopping for containers for bottle garden, bring your creativity and your imagination and let it take the lead. You'll be surprised at the plentiful choices you'll find.
