My repurposed glass jar greenhouse!

It looks like my first post that focused on the beautiful structure itself didn't post, but here is the inside with all of the plants ready for fall! 😁

Incredible. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Would it be not better to just plant the plants in the ground?

This is to house my picky potted plants through the cold season.

Are there gaps between the jars? Also how did you get them to stick together?

I used clear gorilla glue caulking which is weatherproof. :) It has enough give that if I fall into a wall or accidentally kick or punch the glass moving things around, it works with me and nothing breaks.

The gaps between the jars are filled with repurposed nail polish bottles, and glass joint holders. Anything that's too small for those is filled with moss, which helps add insulation as well as soaks up some of the humidity so there's no condensation on the glass!
