Blog Reader Dr. Harper sent a link to YouTube video called. Blenko Garden.
This video is part of a glass garden documentary that included by Dad and his glass garden.
If you enjoy gardening, and Blenko you will like the combination.
I wish I could reproduce the 20 minute film of my parents glass garden - they have an
open garden yearly - in 2012 I'll post the date, and you are welcome to drop by on this
day and visit their outdoor glass and plants.
Thank you Dr. Harper - my Dad was not aware of the video online .

What a wonderful garden, Seems I recall at one time BLenko had glass in the garden.
Does it break in winter or do you bring the glass in?

Is all West Virginia and American Glass safe for use in my yard?
Elle
Hillary please answer this.
Bruce is it safe?
Sweet.
If you garden in Zone 5 or colder, the glass, even Blenko, would most likely not survive undamaged thru the winter. Water and snow, freezing and thawing in a container, can destroy it. If you leave a a clay pot full of dirt outside all winter, you will have lots of bits of clay come spring. Thick slabs of glass might fare better, since they wouldn't hold water. I garden in Zone 5, and I'm going to leave some heavy, non-Blenko glass out all winter, turned upside down, and see what happens. The Blenko all comes inside this year.
