Every Garden Needs Some Wine

As we come to a close on the summer months... I thought it'd be neat to pull out some gardening ideas for next year (start saving up!).   Wine bottle trees are especially popular, and you see them quite often in botanical gardens or at bed and breakfasts!  We saw one in California at a bed and breakfast - it was quite charming and went with the style of the house.

This is probably my favorite - subtle ad changing with the seasons.

But I guess you may want to go with something more subtle.  I also found this small table at Achla Designs that can be taken in and out of your backyard landscape.  With 2 Adirondacks chairs beside, this thing would be the perfect backyard table to sit, enjoy the quiet, flowers, and a good book.  When you're not using it for wine, you could fill in the spaces with potted plants.  How pretty!

Swap those plants for wine, and again, we have the same idea!
