[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] A plant grown inside a sealed glass bottle is still thriving despite not having water or fresh air for more than 40 years.
Gardener David Latimer, 80, from Cranleigh in Surrey, first planted his bottle garden in 1960 and finally sealed it tightly shut 12 years later - yet it's still going strong.
He recently took a picture of the 53-year-old bottle garden along to Radio 4 Gardener's Question Time, where it was hailed as an amazing example of plants recycling their own waste by members of the programme's expert panel. |
