July 8, 2023~Bottle Garden Contest~Host: Julia Ward
I found a large glass container in an antique store. My panoptic vision for it became so much more... A bottle garden that would bring me such pleasure, so, it grew into a tiny jungle of plants to treasure. I nurtured it quite tenderly for almost two years but one morning, what I found left me in tears. Tiny mites and aphids stripped all the foliage clean. I'll burn my bottle garden and pests with kerosene.
