Q&A: How to make a miniature conservatory?
Question by snowy_gush_gush: How to make a miniature conservatory?
A conservatory is just another name for greenhouse. I wanted to make one to make a miniature garden in it. I was thinking of painting popsicles white and then taping this clear see through paper on and then to keep it together put it on top of one of those Styrofoam things. But I’m not really sure it will work any other ideas would help.

Answer by Wayne
1. cut the top off of a 2 liter plastic bottle
2. cut two 3-4 inch vertical slits from the top of the lower part of the bottle
3. after planting your “garden” push the top of the bottle over the bottom half. The slits can be manuvered such that the top will overlap the bottom.
you can use a 1 gallon milk or juice jug for a larger version.

The easiest way, without cutting a bunch of bottles open is to go to your local wal-mart and buy a 10 gallon tank for 10 dollars.. then you can either set your plants outside and just flip the tank of top of it or but the plants in the tank and put a clear plastic wrap on it.. (will hold several small plants)
Also you can buy some thin pcv pipe and make a small but realistic greenhouse, you would just need some pvc elbow brackets to hold it all together.. or just stick it in the ground..
(you can hold the most plants this way)
PLEASE WATCH THIS… STEP BY STEP BUILDING….
(I am actually going to do the pvc one soon..)
But if you do prefer not going to the store you can do the bottle method but it will be kinda tacky with a plant in each bottle.. (hold 1 plant per bottle)
