Back in yesteryear, people used anything handy for flower bed borders. One thing that was often handy was glass bottles. They were not only plentiful but didn't cost anything. Another good factor about glass bottles, was that they didn't deteriorate like wood and other natural items. The bottles that you see in the photo are used for flower bed borders at an old plantation home called Oakland. The
home is a part of the Cane River Creole National Historic Park. It turns out that these particular bottles are very valuable because they were produced in limited quantity back in the 1700's and 1800's. The National Park Service has estimated the value of one of them at $500,000. WOW! For a bottle!
