Bottle Trees
What is a bottle tree?
The bottle tree's origins can be traced back to Africa. Evidently, it was believed that shiny objects placed around the home would attract evil spirits away from the family. With the tragedy of the slave trade, the tradition found its way to North America and continued to evolve into the hanging of bottles in trees to "trap" the evil spirits.
We don't believe bottles could in any way "trap" evil spirits. However, over the years the bottle tree has become a very unique Southern gardening tradition.
Everyone wants their yard or garden to be unique in some way. Landscaping has become so predictable, that without spending an enormous amount of time and money in your yard or garden, it is becoming difficult to be different. UNLESS YOU GET CREATIVE! Bottle trees give you the chance to be creative! They allow you to put your own twist on your yard or garden.
At the moment I need a bottle tree in my yard.
I live in a community with a Home Owners Association.
OMG!!!!
Is it only the SICK that get on these boards?
There is a rumor flying around the community that
I have a motorcycle and am riding it all the time,
which is in clear violation of the 'by-laws' where I live.
I am afraid of motorcycles.!!!
I don't ride one.
I need a bottle tree.
But I am sure it would be in violation of something here.
xx happy weekend
