Birds and Bees, and Blue Bottle Trees
Recycling … it’s one of the many ways gardeners care for the environment and every once in a while, turns out to be entertainment in itself.
Blue bottles turn up (when you start looking for them) in thrift shops, flea markets, yard sales, and recycling centers.
You can also buy blue bottles with products like beer, wine, or mineral water.
Specific manufacturers are Bud Light Platinum Beer, Skyy Vodka, Harvey’s Bristol Cream Sherry, Arizona Tea (salvage only as flavors are sometimes discontinued)—and antique Milk of Magnesia bottles still show up now and again.
