I have a lot of nice glass from old solar lights that just don't work anymore. Any ideas what I can use the glass for in the garden?

What size and shape is the glass you are referring to? Are these glass globes?

Hello! Are they colored or just clear lights? I have seen tutorials where they break up the lights and make beautiful mosaic stones. Here is one:

You could attach them to stakes and make markers for plants or mini reflectors to catch sunlight or lights.

Hi Lj: You can place them in different areas of your flower garden to add points of interest. Or, you can paint the insides and line them up on your windowsill.
