hali Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 hello peeps, ok a few years ago i bought my mum in law a lovely glass vase filled with coloured sand to match her lounge with a succulant type plant in - has anyone seen them around and if so where?? went to 3 garden centres today and none Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Hmm, that's a tough one. Could be somewhere a bit more 'basic' like Habitat, or Debenhams or M&S. Less 'garden centre' more 'home furnishings' perhaps? I take it you can't remember where you got it originally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Can't help I'm afraid Hali but I do recall what you mean - maybe they didn't prove that successful overall and went out of "fashion" - could there be a specialist succulant grower on line maybe who would stock such things now. Usually see candles in glass bowls with sand nowadays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inge Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 not seen them for a long time... plant one yourself there are always the small plants, and use compost and stones.. or an airplant and a spray with it.. got me thinking now as I have a large tank left from sister emigrating which had some in it that could do with replanting.. it had layers of soil and sand originally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hali Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 yes like tht Cait (i did try google) but sand was in different coloured layers and if i did myself would look very amaturish as i am not arty in the least thanks anyway x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Hali, I have seen them in "Squires" garden centre in Windsor on the A308 just past the race course. Why not give them a ring to check they are in stock before you travel that way. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
